    Chicken Tractors - Safe from predators?

    I fixed the links, added my location to my profile and read the links that you provided. I'm definitely leaning towards the combination coop with run. Yes the pre-made are a bit pricey but I have confidence in their quality of construction. I have a shed by the same company.

    My family and a few of our friends are looking to start raising backyard chickens. We will be “hosting” the hens since our friends do not have enough land. Instead of a farm co-op, we'll call it a coop-op. I tried to find answers to these questions on-line so feel free to just send me links if...
