Easy Sourdough Start to Finish! http://www.aldermanfarms.net/sourdough Finally broke down and built a chicken tractor. Didn't follow any plans, per se, but built it from memory based on what I've seen from Joel Salatin and others who've built them. It isn't perfect, but it's functional and should last a very long time. Chicks are a bit skittish still and I'm sure it will take a few days for them to feel comfortable in their new digs, but I' guessing they'll love the new blend of freedom and security that the tractor offers them, not to mention the tender grass and yummy insects. Curious to see how much less feed they consume now.
