From Wickipedia: Because the scratching, digging, weeding, pecking, and fertilizing they do is considered similar to the work performed by a tractor to prepare a seed bed. |

I suppose Chicken Tractor sounds much more Sophisticated and Gucci than Movable Pen for Chickens.  ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

Got no idea Joe. First time I heard that term was a couple of years ago. We call them coops or pens around here. Probably a term some old times used to mess with the yuppies he sold 2 or 3 old wore out hens to. ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

Chicken tractor is just hype... 8n ford was already taken, and adding chicken, ups the expected horsepower... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |
