A chicken tractor is a bottomless, portable shelter-pen that fits over your garden beds. The chickens peck and scratch the soil, eat pest bugs and weed seeds, and fertilize the beds with their manure. Best of all, they provide eggs and meat.

A pretty good summary of all issues of raising chickens. Not much in the way of the mechanics of or blueprints for building a Chicken Tractor, but it does point to sources that do. (

I borrowed this book from a friend and ended up purchasing as a reference book. I found Mr Lee's book very useful. The chicken tractors designs and information on keeping a healthy flock was very helpful. Want chickens, get this book. (
