My first hit was a chicken tractor!

Boy that one is fancy.
I have used a simple cage, a couple feet high and maybe 3 x6 or 8 foot long, to keep mama and chicks away from things that would eat them, or to be sure they got all the bugs in one spot, it can be pushed/slid along the ground, but never as fancy as the one you found, which would be wonderful, if you wanted to keep the breeds separate.
The real problem with NCPariot’s chickens, is it is her garden and the neighbors chickens.
I was headed to google in a few minutes, to see if they had the answer.
I sit here smiling, as I can hear Bill sitting on his cloud and thinking “Yes, I knew that she would want me to build her a half dozen, and at last, I don’t have to build any more cages.”
[a quickie idea, one of those that Bill hated], would be to use a child’s swing set for the frame, they are often found cheap at garage sales, and add chicken wire and up in no time.
Or even the plastic pipes, would work to build the frame in an
“A” shape.
Did you guess, that I do not handle a hammer very well?
My fingers always get in the way, of the nail head contact.
Of course, I had to look at Freedom Farm, all over the place, but several on the first page that i want to see:
Chicken tractor “Doll house for chickens”:
Reading the links, has me laughing:
A shotgun will work, lots of ideas here, not all good, but still ideas:
