Tractor Coops vs. Permanent Coops: the basics

Nice article! Concise, well organized, with good use of photos and links.
Great article! I love that you provided so many links. I'm new to chickens and only tractor I have is made of pvc and garden netting, so this was great exposure for me to sturdier types that I can leave the chickens in unsupervised. Since tractors can be easily dug under by the observant fox or other digging predators, I would love some more tips on how to help make them more predator-resistant than just a solid structure if you ever have time to edit!

I like your article for the most part. I disagree with some of the comments about smaller homemade coops being good only for bantams, but then, it depends on a persons idea of small, I guess.
I like how you point out that tractor coops can often be too heavy to move unless you have a tractor! Or how they can be too flimsy to stand up to moving much.

I also like that you mention how often you should move the tractor and the fact that chickens can tear up a lawn in just a day!
