Simpson Chicken Tractor Plans
Downloadable plans to build your own chicken tractor!
Farmer & Engineer Darby Simpson designed his own hoop house style tractor and has been using it on his farm since 2009. This tractor is fairly easy to manage with a couple of wheels and a dolly, and will hold up to 100 broilers!
Darby has used this tractor to generate an income of up to $10,000 (net!) on one acre of ground at his farm in Central Indiana.
It’s rugged enough to withstand strong storms but versatile enough to be used for turkeys, laying hens or as a sheep, goat or pig shelter. You can even remove the tarps, add plastic and use it as a mini greenhouse in the winter!
Many of his tractors have been used for 8-9 years and are still going, meaning they’ll last a long time – saving you valuable time and money in the long run.

Darby’s farming journey began in 2007 with just $600 and 50 broiler chickens on pasture.
Today the farm is producing nearly $200,000 in gross annual sales and provides a modest living for Darby, his wife and two children.
Darby successfully transitioned himself from the corporate world as a mechanical engineer into farming and this course is designed to help you do the same.
