We have a chicken tractor that houses 4 hens in our yard. It allows us to move them to fresh grass everyday. You can view it on my blog at http://www.greenat50.com. The design is a motification of a design you can purchase at http://www.catawbacoops.com. The amount of cedar would have made the coop very heavy to carry, so we we used exterior grade plywood instead and made the entire bottom just wire...good luck. Just make sure to close them in well at night or someone will have them as a snack.
