Chicken playpen?

[ottbmom]

My little chickies would be in too much danger free ranging, but I want to be able to rotate them around on fresh grass (and I also don't want a chicken tractor). So I'm thinking of having my hubby build a sort of "mobile pen" that I can put them in during nice days. Does anyone do this? If so, do you have pictures of your contraption?

i built one out of 3/4 pvc pipe and covered it with the plastic chicken wire stuff it has lawn mower wheels off of a push mower on it and it can be pulled around the yard im sorry i dont have pics but its about 5 feet long and 3 feet wide and it can take 15 or so month old chicks easily also it only weighs about 20 to 25 pounds
