Hi everyone. I'm looking at a simple chicken tractor design (here) that has an open-bottom coop. I'm going to need to modify it, but I find the idea of not having a coop floor to clean (with roosts above the ground/grass) very appealing. The creator claims years of success with this coop, but clearly there is a degree of predator risk.
My question for you is, would an apron, jutting out 1' on all sides, foil not just diggers like foxes, but other predators like weasels? I'm assuming no, and that that they'd still need locking up within the tractor, but I can't help but ask.
For what it's worth, I live in New England. We have foxes, bobcats, small rats...
Thanks,
Amy
