another chicken tractor

This is another chicken tractor. I will let son decide which will be the best pen.

If you want some more examples to tickle his fancy have a look at the arks on this UK site. We had two of their arks in the past and they served our bantams very well!

Thanks for your reply to my blog.
You will find that if you copy the Forsham ones they are definitely heavy enough to foil foxes. We had ours in the countryside in Kent. My bantams were near the house, whereas the other chickens were all over our hillside within an electric fence. We lost chickens from up the field to foxes....one memorable night when snowdrifts made a bridge and foxy just walked in and slaughtered three dozen chickens in one night. He never touched my bantams in the Ark.....and it had no bottom.
