Chicken Tractor

The main aim of this project is to develop a natural free ranging rearing system for chicken with automatic feeding and watering system. In the existing system the chickens are grown in a confined area in an artificial manner. We are proposing a movable on field coop, by which chickens are be reared naturally in open field and secured from predators using an enclosure. Pests and weeds in the field are controlled naturally by chickens rather than by using pesticides separately. Also the natural waste from the chickens goes as manure to the agricultural field which eliminates the need of using artificial pesticides and fertilizers to the field. Chicken manure is rich in nitrogen. Nitrogen is vital nutrient need for tree growth. The amount of feed needed for the chicken reduces eventually. The soil is naturally tilted by chickens and manure is directly applied to trees. In addition to this, automatic feeding and watering to the chickens is done without the use of electric power. After two days the chicken tractor is moved on to a new area, by this weed and pest control over entire field can be achieved. Having more number of similar system people can get natural protein rich food and it will increase the income of farmers.
