I have to build a test coop and actually try this.
If it works, I'll feel like I've contributed a useful innovation to the #chickentractor community :)
Of course, as always, just building on the shoulders of giants. I wouldn't have thought of this without the idea from Tanner Alberts, Kelsey Fisher, and Brandon Haley of OSU who made the pictured tractor in 2012: https://blogs.oregonstate.edu/engineering/2012/06/06/automated-mobile-chicken-coop/
