Chicken Tractor ! Keep predators from digging?

briter30 · May 19, 2011

I have had my chicken tractor for a week and have read that I need to do something to keep predators from digging? Can anyone suggest an easy way to deter predators that dig?

Put a skirt of welded wire fencing or hardware cloth around the bottom. Attach it to the bottom of the tractor and stake it down

That is a great tractor! I've worried about the same thing having dogs and new chickens. I'll have to do this also!

Hey Cargo, do they fold up so that you can move it or do they set on top of the wire?

Almost finished with mine today, needs paint and trim.

Ive found that this works well to prevent/deter digging predators
