From Wickipedia:
Because the scratching, digging, weeding, pecking, and fertilizing they do is considered similar to the work performed by a tractor to prepare a seed bed.

I suppose Chicken Tractor sounds much more Sophisticated and Gucci than Movable Pen for Chickens.

Got no idea Joe. First time I heard that term was a couple of years ago. We call them coops or pens around here. Probably a term some old times used to mess with the yuppies he sold 2 or 3 old wore out hens to.

Chicken tractor is just hype... 8n ford was already taken, and adding chicken, ups the expected horsepower...
