My new, home-built out of left-overs, chicken tractor!! I still have to put the rest of the wire on it, build a ladder for the pop door, and add the tires/axle for it yet, but it is ALMOST FINISHED!! 
It ain't quite done, but it sure is close...........

That is wonderful--way to go! That's got to be a great feeling to have built it all from leftovers, too.

WE had a local Pier1 store close up, and I bought a bunch of NICE wooden shelving for only 72.00 ! After I built my pantry shelves first, I had a BUNCH of the 2' x 4' clear white pine shelves left over, plus a bunch of 2x4 bracing and uprights.PamsPride said:
I had to purchase the wood I used for the bottom frame(pressure treated)the wood for the roof roof, the hinges and the fence wire to complete it. Everything else you see is leftover shelving. I even have enough left to build the wifey a bookcase for our cookbooks!!

I love it. It looks a bit like our hutch/ coop project. I hope you don't mind if I show my dh. He will love it. You have some great ideas there. Are the overal dimensions 4 x 8? What did you use for roofing? g

Yes the overall dimension is 4' x 8'. The roof is just 4x8 sheets of exterior grade Luan plywood, with two coats of primer and two coats of oil based paint. It should last at LEAST as long as the chickens do!!TanksHill said:
I plan on using the leftover Luan for a shade cover for the sides.......just in case we need it.
