Build A Suscovich Chicken Tractor

Inside these pages you will find step-by-step instructions for building a mobile chicken shelter for pastured poultry, as used by farmers and homesteaders all over the world. If you are just starting to farm, or if you are looking to add pastured poultry to your existing farm business or homestead, these chicken tractors are a great way to start raising chickens the right way.

An Easier Way To Raise Chickens

The Suscovich Chicken Tractor is an efficient combination of form and function. Raising your own food should be fun, low-stress – and should look good in your back yard - and the Suscovich Chicken Tractor enables you to achieve all of that. The pasture shelter offers:

Strength - solid enough to survive 70mph gusts of wind, and keep your birds safe
Light weight - light enough to be moved by any adult
Easy entry - allowing you to easily work with your birds

Raising chickens on grass provides them with a healthy lifestyle, and yields delicious flavor. You can raise just enough of them to feed your family, or scale up to include pastured poultry as a profitable part of your farm business. John Suscovich has raised thousands of chickens using these mobile shelters, which help him make pastured poultry the main enterprise on his Connecticut farm.

The All-Purpose Chicken Tractor

These chicken tractors were created by incorporating the best elements of other designs. They are easy to move, and provide a good life for your chickens. With a little bit of creativity, they can also be modified for seasonal egg-layer housing, as shelter for rabbits, ducks, turkeys, piglets, and dogs, and as forts for your kids.
