    Yes, I want to have my electric netting all set up and have a usable safe coop for them, I’m looking to make a structure that will be sound and last awhile with the abuse it’s gonna take moving around, but also not make anything to flamboyant and grand for my first round. I’m currently thinking I’ll make two or three different style tractors to figure out which one works best for my situation moving forward, but not make them so crappy they fall apart or put the birds at risk. I’m thinking I’d try a chick Shaw like Justin Rhodes for the chickens, but not for the ducks as they don’t do well on wire floor and they don’t roost, so at least two different skid sled base coops, I’m currently sketching out a frame for a lean to shed style, and also have sketches on an aframe but that would have less usable space just with the weird angles and the roost being so low on the far sides. And I’m not sure about the Joel salatin style as the flat top would not drain water off well but otherwise is such a great idea. But I know with experience I’ll figure what works best and what I would want to do differently in my own coops
