Our mobile henhouse is built on a trailer and has a wire skirt that
drops down to ground. It has some play to deal mostly w uneven ground
but in some prowling situations we also pull a cord to close hatch to
underneath after they're up to roost. Most nights we (re rather they)
take their chances. Other house is built into deck by bedroom window.
I'd rather wake up and throw a rock than wait for the last straggler and
button it up.
