The Chicken tractor is a collaborative design/build project led by designer Matt Wolpe. The project was a collaboration between Matt Wolpe City Slicker Farm in West Oakland, and Rock Paper Scissors Collective. We were awarded a grant from the City of Oakland to fund a free workshop where West Oakland residents could sign up for free, and determined that our program would be one related to food security, sustainability and self-sufficiency. Out of this, the chicken tractor, a mobile chicken coop emerged. Our approach to design was a collaborative one in which each participant was able to set the criteria for the design. Everyone made drawings and sketches and contributed to the dialogue. When we agreed upon a design, we then moved into construction, where we were able to share our building skills and see our design become a reality. Not only will the participants have a one of a kind chicken tractor to take home with them, they will also have the basic design and construction skills to take on future projects of interest. Just Fine is interested in taking on more backyard chicken coop/tractor related projects . Not only does it fit in with our interests in sustainability, but also provides a wonderfully scaled project that has much room for experimentation.
