Solid Ground - 2026 Chicken Tractor Design & Discussion Skill Share

There is a lot to consider when building a chicken tractor and selecting a design to meet your production goals. It can be challenging to balance cost, size, and materials with the everyday practicality of movement and pasture management, access, and predator protection. Join us at Allard Family Farm as we talk through the ways in which they have adapted a chicken tractor design to make it work for them. We will break down their modifications, plans for more design adjustments, and provide opportunity for feedback on other approaches.

Bring your designs and questions so you can be ready to apply what you learn on your own farm afterwards!
