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.
