Chicken Ambition

This is a sketch of what a "Chicken Tractor" can look like. It is a must have for the city dwelling hen and is most likely what will be widely used if Kamloops catches up to other future friendly cities like Burnaby, Victoria, New York, Portland, and Seattle who all allow chickens on properties smaller than one acre.

It's purpose: to be able to move the chickens to areas of your yard that you want "mowed", fertilized, weeded, cultivated and removed of insects. 

My ambition is to make raised garden beds in corresponding size to the base of the chicken tractor and fill them with kitchen and garden scraps. I would then place the tractor over a bed until the chickens have turned, fertilized, and devoured any weed seeds they could find in it. Then I would move it to the next one and so on. The beds would soon be premium, organic, locally sourced soil for growing my own fruits and vegetables. Just think of the fabulous acorn squashes I would have next fall!
