When our Golden Comets are ready we want to put them in the chicken tractor. We are making 3 nest boxes in it. But because its a tractor how do you protect the bottom from predators digging under since is mobile? I would love to see pictures of yours for inspiration.
 
I don't know if this helps or not, and it may not because mine isn't mobile. I put 1 foot wide chicken wire on the bottom all along the edge and stake it down. Eventually you will be able to remove the stakes if your're not moving it because grass will begin to grow through it. You can even mow and weed eat over it. That keeps anything from being able to dig under the fence. I'm not sure if you could make that work for a mobile tractor or not, but it has worked well for me.

That's actually a good idea!
