did you build your chicken tractor yet? you were asking about putting hardware cloth underneath, as I was moving my chicks today, one thing struck me, chickens like to kick and dig in the dirt, don't now if that would create a issue with them getting caught in the wire

I'm building it next weekend. My concern is for their security when we're away for long enough that I would want to keep the coop door open. I wanted to build a screened panel that would lock into the bottom of the frame of the tractor and only use if we went out of town for a few days. I'm worried about them injuring themselves when scratching. I'll have some leftover fencing from the new garden and I was going to use that. It's a high strength poly material with a square 2" opening. I was going to give that a shot and see how it worked. The other option would be to just move the tractor into the garage while we're gone, but who wants to deal with that mess when they come home, amirite?
