I see wheels - is it easy to move? That's my big fault with my tractor, wheel placement wrong. Help! That is one sharp looking coop.

Thanks. The wheels are removable and lift the back off the ground by about 3". I have a heavy chain wrapped around the front at the base that I attach to my lawn tractor, lifting the front a little, and it moves pretty easily. We can actually move it by hand too, if we're only going a few yards.
For the first move I didn't have the axle yet, so I just put 1/2" bolts through the holes I drilled in the back and attached the wheels (8") to them with washers and nuts, and that worked fine. After moving, I just took the wheels off and the bolts out. A slide in axle will be a little sturdier for longer moves if necessary.

There's my problem!!!!!
I mounted the little bitty lawn mower wheels too flush and close to the back; not enough angle to lift it over the ground! When the rain stops, I'll add this modification to the list of things to do for the birds. I will find BIGGER wheels and use a temporary mounting.
Thank you!!!!
