Not yet, but the tractor is lined with quarter inch hardware cloth so she doesnt really have access.
I do have some concerns about when the new chicks graduate to the outside and go into the coop and run. I know the cat cant get in there, but if theyre small enough she thinks she can get one out, she may try to grab and pull one through the cage.

have you figured out how you are going to incorporate the new birds in with the old birds? It can be a issue some times, the layers did not like the meat birds last year at all and would attack them if I let them out of the tractor, I've heard if you wait till the old ones are nesting and asleep, you can put the new ones in with them and when they wake up, they don't even notice they are new, not sure how well that works though

Im trying to come up with a plan of action. We're going away in June for a week.
I dont know if I can move the tractored birds in with the girls in the coop (the new set) or if I should keep them in the tractor.
If I do keep them there, then I will have to join the flocks next winter when it gets too cold to stay in the tractor and I'll have all 9 in the coop.
Yikes....

that's a tough one, who's gonna watch the birds and the goat while you're gone?

Lol, I'll ask my neighbor to watch them...she always wanted chickens but her husband says no.
the goat may be a separate issue, lol!

did the theme change again while I was typing my post? Looks totally different after I hit submit!

My wife said the all white was tough to read, I told here it was just the default theme, people can change it to whatever they would like on the bottom of the forum. She said that was fine for members, but what about people that are looking at the forum for the first time, so I checked on a couple different pc's and browsers and agreed with her, so I set the default to shades of grey for some contrast, if you prefer the all white, it's the minimalist theme, I'm more of a berries and cream man myself these days
