Response to little chicken tractor

We built that Chicken coop from that issue and we love it. We stapled 10 inches of wire on the outside-bottom border that we fold up when we move it and lay bricks on when it sits. We only move it once every 4 or 5 days but grass grows back fairly quickly where it sat. I never have seen signs of any varmit trying to dig in and I live with a lot of wildlife around. I feel I wasted my time with that dig protection. It is a tourist attraction though--everyone has had to stop by and see it ! Build it--you'll love it. My only plan change was 4 wheels instead of two. Anything you can think of to decrease wieght is a big help also--vinyl siding versus plywood etc.
