Today we moved the chicken tractor over, but in order to do so we had to leave the chickens in the tractor as we moved it because if we had taken out they would not have been able to find thier way back in even though we only moved it ten feet. Had we taken them out ,come night time, they would have been walking right by it searching for , but unable to find it.
