I am looking at raising 6 BBW in a 10X12X3' pasture pen moved daily. Can anyone offer the pros and cons if you have tried this?
 
We have done it. We use a salatin type pen only taller. Just make sure that their are no beams low enough for them to trip on. A couple of ours broke a wing on the low beams.
 
Works great as long as you move it enough. It doesn't take long before the grass gets really messy. You will need to go higher as they really do need roosting space and they are quite tall by processing time. I would suggest closer to 4 ft.
