We originally intended to build one similiar to one of those on that site, but it got too big to be really portable. Another factor is you would need to have a reasonably flat yard for it to work right. After we built ours we moved it around a tons of times until we could get it in a flat spot. it made me realize that for our hilly yard it wasn't a real option. If it's not on level and flat ground you would have gaps in the bottom where mongoose could get in. I think our compromise is to make a large fenced run, that we will let the girls out in while we're home. But I think chicken tractors are a great idea it just didn't work out for us. Angela
