I'm really happy about my wire travel (dog) exercise pen which I originally got for my dogs. It's 24 sq ft per unit, and I have two, with lids (sold separately), which clip on. They come with 8 stakes to bolt them in the ground, and I use an apron of modular wire shelf panels on the outside. It's hawk-proof, dog-deterrent/resistant (depends on the dog and the time period, and raccoon-resistant if you apply hardware cloth on the outside to the whole unit, cut & wired. I've done this with one of the 2 units I have for chickens. The dogs' unit doesn't have a wire top. I can drag them from place to place myself, or have someone help me lift the unit. You can also fold it & carry it to the new patch of earth every day or two.
I use two units for my chickens to forage in the woods behind our house, and one for my small dogs, who spend a couple hours in theirs in the summer, near the chickens, in the woods.
The chickens have a separate run, but it needs thorough cleaning after the snow & ice has melted, so I let them spend a couple weeks in the woods days.
The lowest price for the unit is on Amazon. Here's the search description: 30"H x 24" 8 Panel GoGo Black Epoxy Exercise Pen w/ Door The top is also GoGo brand.
They fold flat and clip together for travel, and we store one in the back of our station wagon under a blanket in case we travel & bring the hens or dogs, or both.
