Got it thanks. I thought that maybe you had a treadmill inside for the chickens to walk on for a slow progress. LOL

Tina got the painting done, hung the water and feed buckets and we hooked her up and towed her to the first spot. The tractor now has chickens in it.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

That isn't paint on the wire... some kind of reflection from the lens on the camera I guess.

Ingenious. I've never heard of a "chicken tractor" before and I grew up in a rural area. We raised cows though.

The chickens had an interesting day yesterday. They took thier first and last vehicle ride, to the processor. The place we drove to was interesting. They processed our forty chickens in less than an hour. We had breakfast and came back to cooled and processed birds. The freezers are full now.

Sounds like what happened to Rock Ridge in Blazing Saddles. " Why we'll make Rock Ridge think it's a chicken that got caught up in ".
