It is almost time for our favorite time of the year.....Meat Chickens! We love being able to provide great food for ourselves and others and this year we are doing it bigger than we have ever done before!. That being said we need bigger brooders and more chicken tractors.
Check out today's video to see how we build our brooders and chicken tractors in order to raise our meat birds.

All you have to do to get the chickens to move out of the way is put some feed down in front of the cage. Pull the cage over it and the chickens flock to the feed leaving non to get run over in the back.

I would put 6 wheels on it for easy pulling. That little space isn't going to harm anything.

While I LOVE seeing the pigs, I do really enjoy the chicken info too. That is a great quick brooder is brilliant. We are also looking to build chicken tractors this spring. So thank you for that too!

Nice and heavy! Those wheels are a must. I like how you used aluminum frames. One change you might consider is to raise the front under the door to about 18 inches and shorten the door. This has worked for me, both with Cornish cross and my laying hens. Escapes are almost nonexistent.

Not a bad idea thanks

just a heads uppppppp... You may be OVER_SPAN on your horizontal top sill joining the roof.. If it bends? it kinks, then snaps..IN the vid, they are already sagging without load or movement...... I would add 3 studs 2x2 with wood scooped to fit the pipes inch drill bit for each end... using a centered 1 1/2 paddle bit. ,,,, so.. hope this helps...oh.. 50 years construction experience here... Hop at True hands Pottery... all the best mate.... peace. ..

Made the same brooder last year. I put another board in the center as a divider for when they were real small. Then after a week or so pulled it out

@@KCFarms I’ve followed you guys for a while but I just never comment. I’m the guy that took his pig home in the semi about 2 years ago. And yes we still have Clyde and he’s doing well.

Osb ends look pretty fragile. Good idea but I don’t think osb is a low maintenance choice.

I am pricing out supplies for the "Meat Wagon"/"Cornish Castle"; do you have any updates on tips or things you would do differently, now that you have gotten to play with it a little?

So far so good only hard part is turning it around at end of pasture trying to figure something g out to make that easier

Again, well done. How did you attach the 2x4 uprights to the base?

We used pocket hole screws

Do you start your chicks out on newspaper or shavings? I’ve always heard to start them out on the newspaper, but if I can do shavings I’d rather do that. Great video! 😊

@KCFarms Жыл бұрын

We always have used shavings. Thanks for following along
