I just added it at the very end, bypassing the lovely categorization system you set up. Can you put me in Urban Homesteading and All About The Garden from your admin panel on Linky Tools? If not, can you delete me from "General" and I'll re-submit myself in the right category? Thanks so much, if it's not too much trouble I would adore a quick email letting me know at nwedible at gmail dot com since I don't see a way to subscribe to comment threads. Thanks so much!

The first, in which we extended a smallish one off ebay to suit our gardens, didn't work overly well as the dog kept breaking the wire - not to get to the chooks, but to get to their food! And after constantly repairing it every night with tire wire, more sheets of wire and barbed wire, we got cranky and decided to spend the money on a ridgey didge heavy duty chook tractor that we bought as flat pack and I actually put together myself! (I am proud of that fact!). Happy to say no probs since!! So when you are considering one to build, make it as strong as possible first time so your dog can't get in otherwise once they realise they can get in, they will keep doing it and doing it. On the upside, we have ours over our garden beds which we move around as one bed has finished and it works great!! Good luck! Hi Kirsten,

It was very cheap and is very secure so I'm sure if you went and talked to them about what you're after, they would be very helpful. Ours is not portable but I'm thinking of going to talk to them about my ideas for a mobile home for my girlies, so if you go, p,ease blog about it.
