[QUOTE="BobTheSmallholder, post: 7136513, member: 80636"] Another vote for 2x small chicken tractors, I'm also sceptical you'd get 350 chickens in a single caravan chassis unless it's a huge static caravan? I'd seriously look at a tracked crawler type machine too. Full disclosure: I have a 12x35 static that I've looked at turning into a chicken caravan and it would need at least a second axle plus big wide tyres on both to stop it tearing up the ground/getting stuck. Instead I'm probably going with a custom build using 2" scaffold tube similar (but better of course ;) ) to the one in the link below. Designing it for sub-200 hens to keep size manageable and going to use something like the wheels and axles in the amazon link. Will have guttering to collect rainwater to minimize running water out to them, insulated so can be used year round etc. [URL unfurl="true"]https://poultrypaddock.co.uk/organic-chicken-project/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Parnells-Heavy-duty-ATV-trailer/dp/B01CIAJUTQ/ref=rtpb_3/261-2982350-7936143?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01CIAJUTQ&pd_rd_r=a9deeffc-3a6c-49e3-b9de-4d7f2f14fca4&pd_rd_w=0YitG&pd_rd_wg=Xo9xc&pf_rd_p=f3b429bf-04f9-44c1-845e-fa18956e9ff0&pf_rd_r=CFSR5JR7B970XRF7EJDC&psc=1&refRID=CFSR5JR7B970XRF7EJDC[/URL] [/QUOTE]
