Wow, did I score this weekend! We had gotten rid of our chicken tractor. Lost 2 hens, so we got 2 new babies. I had built my tiny chick tractor, then I found this- at a thrift store warehouse I spotted what looked like a folded up play pen. It was a "baby crawl space ", a play pen without a floor. Folds up accordian style, about 28" x 36" sections. Can make any shape you want. I did need to flip it upside down so it's flush with the ground. Works great! Nice and big, and I can put bird netting over the top if needed. The girls had a blast. It's a bit beat up, but hey, for $2.00, it works! And it folds up quick when not in use... and right now, supervised field trips only

excellent! I love thrifting, and I am always on the lookout for something to repurpose. The chicks look like they are really enjoying their "play time"!
 
It's funny too- I saw it leaning up against the wall, kept going. Later went back and when I unfolded it went "yes!".
