Build a Chicken Tractor Hoop Coop In Your Backyard!

This specific chicken coop set up is great from people that have their chickens in a smaller coop, but want to get their chickens on fresh grass while protecting them from hawks. This is also great for people, like me, that want to make use of the chicken's natural instinct to dig and peck to help clear and fertilize future garden locations.
