I build a chicken tractor for only $8 by using free recycled pallet wood from crates. Now my birds can eat fresh grass and bugs in relative safety of the chicken tractor.
I am sharing our videos from the time we moved to our new homestead to the present. When I catch up, I will continue on with our daily videos and articles as we make them.
I haul pallets and crates home to use the wood on projects. I have built fences, paneling and more out of pallet wood through the years. You can also make beautiful crafts out of pallet wood if you plane it down to expose the clean wood and colors inside.
I used 2x2 and 1x3 lumber from a couple crates I got for free. These were most likely used one time to pack garden tractors or equipment.
I used the air powered stapler for this project to make it go together faster. The staples are perfect for this job.
I put a pole across the middle for the birds to roost on.
This is the perfect size for our little chicks or 4 to 5 adult chickens.
This is only a day pen for now. The birds go into their chicken coop at night. We haul them out for the day and put them to bed at night.
During the day the worst predators are hawks from the sky.

That's awesome!!
It's amazing the things you can make with discarded, or cheap, pallets.
Bet your chickens love it too!

Troy has upset me for trying to hide my comments!
Please donate to the old lady that owns the land for the clean-up operation after Troy was evicted because he couldn’t make the land payment!

I love the large yellow forklift battery in the back of Troy's beloved Chevy dump truck. Moron Troy had out-gassing forklift battery in his truck bed for 4 months for traction over winter. The acid fumes greatly accelerated RUSTING and totally rusted out the trucks frame beneath the bed which killed the truck. Did it to myself Troy strikes again!!! It was vandals and trolls, right Troy? Hahahahahaha

Yes, pallet wood has a beauty once you clean it up. You can do so much with it.
And the chickens were so happy. They were hopping on and off the roost I put there for them. Eating bugs and scratching at the fresh greens.

Since when have you become the judge of chicken happiness. Is it the ones that don't starve to death should be happy?

Oh, chickens have a way of communicating, didn't you know?
Our birds have 24 hour access to healthy NatureWise food, plus garden scraps and they get to range in the yard every day for bugs and vegetation.
Yes, they are quite happy.
You know, a starving chicken wont feed us very well. So we keep our birds well fed and happy.
Thank you for your comments.
Have a nice night :)

A chicken has an IQ of less than 10 so now I understand why you can communicate with them so easily. What you are confusing for communication is excitement of possibly being fed and watered. Your cruel chicken death toll is evidence.

Troy says “During the day the worst predators are hawks from the sky.” No, the worst predator for any chicken on Troy Reid’s property is Troy Reid. Hawks are hunters and kill their prey for a reason. They don’t let their prey die from neglect. Hawks don’t capture 25 live birds and cram them into a tiny concentration cell like Troy Reid does.

Let's see what happens when real winter weather gets here. Everyone knows the weather now is T-shirt weather for Mr. Wilderness Homesteader. The thing I do not understand is why is Mr. Tshirt wearing a nice warm sweat shirt in the On Grid A-frame? A person would think it would be quite warm with having a 1 month old. How are you heating? It is not wood.
When winter hits it will be more chickensicles due to malnutrition and dehydration.

So we will post the old video where you found blue pallets and let the kind people of steem it make up their mind about your 5 finger discounts, all they have to type into google is blue pallets and that says everything, that they are rented and never sold, but people like troy Reid drive behind companies like Agway in NY and steal the pallets, never asking just using your 5 finger discount.
