#chickentractors

My 120 month-old #chicks are finally out in the #pasture after I spent days and nights rushing through the #construction of these #chickentractors ! As well as my laying #hens in the geodome after weeks of tinkering with the #chickshaw (props to @thejustinrhodesshow for the design), which was a long overdue moving out that keep postponing due to our #crazyweather so the plants get their space back) #milestone #soproud #yesibuiltallthat #handson #farmer #farmlife #pastureraisedchickens #pastureraisedeggs #nfti #canada #hayriver #nwt #northwestterritories https://www.instagram.com/p/CBcRTJghAEh/?igshid=15qcapwj57jbr

Moved the little boy pigs out of the big pen and onto grass. Also moved the girl pigs to a new spot. Then I worked on the mini chicken tractor a bit more. Got the wire, part of the roof and some of the siding put on. Not sure if I'm going to put a third piece of panelling on it or leave that open. Maybe leave it open for the summer heat and then cover the other two sides during the winter. Or cover everything in the winter. The other half of the top will be the door which will be a frame with wire over it. I'd also planned to put some of my summer plants into the garden. But we're actually expecting a night in the high 30s. Our last frost date is supposed to be April 15th so this late cold snap is really weird. Mother nature is really off balance. #pigsofinstagram #premier1fencing #pigs #minichickentractor #chickentractors https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8RmIigcWZ/?igshid=axghq0ne5lu3
