I really didn't want to need to feed/water the chickens too much, but at the same time only having four didn't really necessitate a massive system. I found this video for a feeder (https://youtu.be/pzW4YytXYaQ ), and then bought some sideways chicken nipples off of amazon and <~$20 later it was done. I've since gone in and made the street elbows for the feeder a little longer than he recommends, which has made them truly zero waste.
Also, a couple of good wheels from Tractor Supply (https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/titan-casters-4-in-rigid-poly…) on the one side and some handles on the other and boom, chicken tractor.
Finally, I noticed one person that had extended the rungs on the ramp out... my chickens love that and are on them almost all the time. Lastly, I put a quick 1x2 at the top of the ramp to keep the chips from spilling when I move it, but they really like roosting there, now.

Holy Amazing!
This is by far my favorite table I've seen on here. Wow...its all I can say. I wish it was not in the $400 range.
BTW, that is some serious saw dust. haha

Cost
Thank you,
I helped a buddy make on shortly after I made mine. He used 4x4 pine, it looks a little smaller and the pine did not stain as dark, but it is still a very nice looking table. He made it for under $150, so that might be a good option.

Great option
That is a great option. Hopefully when its time for a table like this I can afford the 5X5's.
What a statement that table has!

Wood for the top
You posted you used 5x5's for the outside and legs. What did you use for the rest of the top?
