I built a small coop aka base is a pallet. I have it raised up the heighth of 3 concrete blocks. The back side is 3 panels of the 6 x 10 dog kennels. On panel lost a corner joint so we put it on top. I have my hay bales around the base to grow veggies and to keep anything from getting the girls. I'm planning on a tractor for them later on. They'll have the best of both worlds :)

My question is, isn't the lack of protection underneath a portable coop a concern for predators? When building their daytime run, I had planned on including some extra protection underground under the fence to protect from digging predators.
