I like yours, but I would add a door! I have several chicken tractors built along the same general principle -- they are basically rabbit cages with no bottom wire, only about eighteen inches high (and I haven't had any trouble with them being too short for the hens that have been in them -- a little short for a large rooster, though). Mine are approximately three feet wide by six feet long. I need to go to larger pens, and think I will use your idea, although with our snowy winters I may arch the tops rather than building boxes, so I can put tarps over and support them so they don't collapse from the snow load. I have had some trouble with snow and the chicken tractors. Also had a goat get loose and walk on top of them, as I'd removed the snow from them and he didn't want to walk in the snow so he walked on my chicken tractors instead!
