Turn Old Pallets Into A Chicken Tractor!

Step 6 Create Some Chicken Shade

You wouldn't want to hang out in direct sun all day, and you're (probably) not covered with feathers. So, treat your chickens to a little refuge from sun and rain by attaching a impermeable barrier to the top of a section of the tractor. I covered about a third of my tractor roof with a doubled-over piece of plastic cut from an old tarp I found, and my chickens seem pretty happy with this. My air stapler went right through the plastic, so I used the hand-powered stapler to attach my roof.
