Chicken tractors

I love the play house idea but really struggling to make it grate for the chickens . like its a lot of effort . today I took it off and I'm just going with a pitched box kinda coop. Its easy to build. I will try an a frame tractor because my original is just to heavy
What are you having trouble with? Maybe we can help. I used an old playhouse for my chicks in the beginning. We still have it but have added on to give them more space.
First pic is original playhouse. Added a floor, front door, and hardware cloth to the windows. Second is our upgrade. Have since added roof overhang, hardware cloth to openings, and hardware cloth to the base to allow access underneath coop.

Basically making a smaller version of your pitched coop add on because I felt the logistics were ridiculous for me to make the play house into a really good coop. I just stood back and said oh I'll just make a pitched coop ..anyway It's a personal carpentry challenge because my next adventure will be an A frame play house for my daughter and an A frame tractor..I'll post pics tomorrow.
