The Jumbo Chicken Tractor by McCallum - an Elephant sized mobile chook shed

The Jumbo Chicken Tractor is huge - this tractor provides your chickens with over 7.25 square metres of space in which to be themselves reducing stress and spreading their manure over a large area.

How many chickens can it hold? That depends on what you want to use it for. If it is just to be used as a night time pen, and the chickens will be outdoors the rest of the day, then there is plenty of roosting space for 30 chickens. If the chickens will be in the tractor most of the time, then the most would be 2 birds per square metre or about 14 chickens. On the other hand, if you know that the birds will be 'cooped up' for long periods of time, or you do not wish to move the tractor very often, then you may decide to accommodate 6 to 8 birds or around 1 bird per square metre. Used in this way the Jumbo model really is the "Chicken Hilton"!

The height of 900mm gives your chickens plenty of head room, but allows you to place the tractor under a tree for shade in summer. This tractor is made from galvanised steel, galvanised mesh and Colorbond sheeting, and is fully welded and bolted.

Access to eggs is provided by a conveniently located lift up lid at waist height. Your chickens have their own front access door, which can be padlocked if you wish.

All Jumbo models include roosting rails, a double size laying box, lift up lid, front access gate, and plenty of room for all the poultry you'll ever need!

Dimensions

When assembled the Jumbo model measures 2710mm (l) * 2710mm (w) * 920mm (h).

Options

This listing is for a mobile Jumbo Chicken Tractor with wheels and trolley. If you do not wish to move your Jumbo model around the yard, then please view our "Jumbo Chicken Coop" - same size but no wheels.

Colour

Possibly the biggest decision you will need to make is colour. We can offer you three choices - Our most popular colour is Pale Eucalypt (Light Green), followed by Cottage Green (Dark Green) and finally Classic Cream.

Foxmesh

If you live in an area with foxes, then you will probably need foxmesh. You have two options - you can put the mesh on the underside of the coop or you can place is around the outside edge of the coop in a 'skirt' position. Please follow this link for a discussion on the merits or otherwise of foxmesh.

Further information - not only about our chicken coops and tractors, but also information on how to order, details about the delivery process and other information - specifically those questions I get asked about our products from time to time.

Firstly pricing - you will find the prices of all of our products by going to the "Online Store". All of our chicken tractors and chicken coops are itemised in this area. The reason that we don't have prices on every page is that if we need to change the pricing for whatever reason, it is easier to change the price of a chicken coop by changing it once in the online shop area of the website rather than editting the entire website. So don't be afraid - go to the Online Store and process an order to see how much it costs. Nothing is final until you pay and there are no traps to try and make you purchase unless you want to! It is fair to say here that the price of our smallest chicken coop is $499, and our biggest chicken tractor is $1299. A fox floor costs extra and freight depends on where you live.

Secondly, chooks. I don't supply them and I don't know who your local poultry breeder is. When I need chooks I buy them from Barter and Sons Hatchery in Luddenham (West Sydney), and I can recommend them but if you live in Adelaide or Wagga Wagga then I have no idea where to get chickens from - Sorry!

Thirdly, Delivery. Our chook sheds are BIG. They are not designed to be put in a shopping trolley and pushed to the car. Our smallest chicken coop weighs at least 55kgs, and the biggest chicken tractor is just over 150kgs. Because of this the only logical way to transport our chicken coops is by general freight, not door-to-door couriers and not Australia Post. Therefore we need to send our chicken coops to a location which has a forklift so it can be unloaded from the truck. Our normal course of business is to send the chicken coops to one of the depots listed above. (Click on your state on the map of Australia at the top of the page for more information). If the depots which we use are in inconvenient locations for you, and you don't mind paying extra we can deliver it to ANY location in Australia as long as the location has a forklift.

And finally, why do I call them Chicken Tractors? Well, I just dont know - thats what everyone calls a mobile chicken coop for some reason. It looks like the term originates from the USA where they also call them 'chicken arks', but if you ask me calling them chicken tractors is just fine and dandy. I know what I mean anyway.
