Chicken Tractor vs Chicken Coop

Tiffany has asked why I'm calling it a chicken tractor instead of a chicken coop. A chicken coop is a house that chickens live in, and generally does not refer to the yard that they run in. A chicken tractor, on the other hand, is a small, light enclosure containing both a coop and a small yard for the chickens to run in. It is designed to be easily moved so the chickens can weed and fertilize a large area, but are still protected from predators. In Europe, Chicken Tractors are called Arks, and I believe the idea may be of European origin.
