Meat chicken tractor question

[Jdcarnathan]

Thinking of getting a chicken tractor for 25 meat birds. Thinking of doing a 6 x 10 x 2 tall. I see normally a 1/3 of it will be covered like a coop with a roof and the rest is hardware cloth. What about covering the entire top with tin or something? Bad idea? Good idea? Lets here yalls pros and cons for this chicken newby

I think the whole thing should be covered.



Or only half of the roof can be covered.

I have about 25 but should only have 20 when they are full grown and it is 8 X 6 feet.
