You are limited because i had a nudist helping me ans posing for the camera
I trust you all, but it is the internet, so limited views.

You organic folk! .
Love the grow out pens!

OK judging by all your reactions, I may have over built. This is the first time I have built something and I wanted it to last and be predator proof. Perhaps I now have room to grow

It's great...it's a coop rather than a tractor, even if it's mobile. But it's not predator proof. The screen is great but for two problems. One, the holes in the screen will quickly clog with dust and you'll need to take a broom and sweep them clean. Hardware cloth is better that way. But neither hardware cloth nor screen are any good at keeping out larger predators as they can tear it right off. Heavy welded wire is needed, and you can apply it over the screens from the outside. Use the smallest squares possible, like 2" x 3". My hen turkey was attacked through chain link fence. The raccoon could not get through but he could reach through. The screen in combination with the wire would stop that.

It is hardware cloth, nailed on, sandwiched between wood

I can eventually get some welded wire, I know it wouldn't stop a bobcat, but figured it would stop\hamper a raccoon
