Those chicken tractors sure do look flimsey. What keeps a fox or coyote
from pulling it right over to expose the open (?) bottom? Or tearing the
wire off? Just curious....

Bobbie, Marge, and any others who are interested:
My source recommends: http://www.gsu.edu/~biojdsx/fowl/tractor.htm
and
http://geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/4175/housing.html
Or just search the net for "chicken tractor."
By the way, you can also search for "animal tractors" in general.
Apparently they are used for many purposes.
Good luck! If well designed it should solve your weed problems.
