We built ours on skids so they can be easily moved. Also, rather than flimsy chicken wire, 1” X 2” heavy wire screening. Covered with strongbarn. Will last 50 years.
So far, it has worked well with only one incident. A raccoon reached in and pulled one out through the wire one night. Have since added extra perches and laying boxes. A smaller wire around the bottom should prevent that from happening again. Good luck with your goslings.

Would help if you’d list board sizes etc as you go
Thank you for the advice DD, and thank you for watching the video.
How predator proof has this been so far ? I think this would be perfect for goslings.

Looks nice... I've had luck repurposing free used trampolines...
Thank you! Trampolines work well. Good way to repurpose one. And free is even better.
What was about your total cost to build this?
That's been a minute, but I believe it was a little under 250 on materials. I'm sure it will be a little more now with the price changes.
I hatch 25 lived so for
You have weird chickens, the ones in the supermarket don't have any feathers. What is wrong with yours? Just kidding.
