Jennie, When chickens molt their feathers it is very hard to clean the wire. Much easier to have a portable coop you can move around the yard. Build it withstand a tornado! Seriously, varmits are one big mass of muscle.

Thanks Catherine, I have also thought of having a strong mesh on the base that they can still peck the grass but predators cannot get under and in. Such gentle creatures it is such a pity they can be got at so easily by predators. Its not fair. Hens can become addictive!!
Cheers, Jennie
