I have 3 in a 5x10 tractor. We have to move it every week and a half to two weeks because they have reduced the ground to raw dirt.

Chickens are inquisitive so I doubt a curtain will keep them at bay for long. They will likely bump it and maybe even peck it. If it moves enough in the right place they only have to get lucky once.

You probably want to contain them to a space you can share with them but where they won't be able to destroy property or crops.
