Sandy, there are also quite a few chicken tractor plans on the internet, if you do a search for them you will surely come up with several. There are also some major poultry websites, such as feathersite, that would have links to plans. Hope you get it built before you lose all your chickens, we started out with 264 chicks and have less than half that left because something is coming in every night or every other night and taking one or two.
