    OMG everybody's Broody!

    We think alike! My husband did that after I posted this and it came out great. I had three big girls in there overnight. Gonna check to see if any have broken yet. The buff (Fancy Pants) has been in jail serving time for 4 days. Speckles for 2 and Raven only went in yesterday.

    Broody Jail! So proud of my husband's creation!

    That was me - we had three of them in the big dog crate tripping over each other! Good luck - I hope he can build one for you. More room for the delusional ladies LOL

    OMG everybody's Broody!

    wow your idea is a lot easier LOL. So the broodies don't just sit on the coop floor and keep their chests warm in the bedding? Mine will even stay broody just out in the run keeping their breasts warm on the bedding/dust baths/2x4 perch....

    Broody Jail! So proud of my husband's creation!

    We were at our wit's end with 4 broodies and no rooster nor room for babies. I had a broody jail I made from a really big dog crate but it was a nightmare to clean since I had to access it from the small end and three hens was already overbooked! So he built me this behemoth creation. Posting...

    OMG everybody's Broody!

    Mostly venting here but i have 12 hens and 4 are broody! We don't have a rooster, nor do we have space for more chickens so I put the first one in broody jail, and now I added another to the cell (LOL) but they are an atrocity to clean - having them in a crate for a full day you have to clean...

    ALL my hens are going broody, ACK! What to do...

    Hi Michelle - I know this is an old post but what was the purpose for the baby aspirin. I have FOUR broodys right how and wondered if that is something that helps

    switch from pine shavings to pine pellet bedding?

    We use the pellets in our runs. Pine shavings in the coop. Our runs are covered, but it’s nice to have the pellets because it’s so much easier to scoop the poops out.

    Stainless steel chicken waterers

    Curious if this worked out for you? I can't figure out why nobody sells top fill stainless waterers! Was wondering if you were successful in making one that didn't leak?

    California Fires

    My goodness friends - I just cannot stop thinking about these terrible fires that have obliterated whole towns in so many areas. I just wanted to send my love and prayers out there - in general but with relevance to our group - for the chickens and their owners who have had to lose or transport...

    The lesser of two evils

    I understand that logic but I am hopelessly in love with her. She tries to jump up on my lap and pecks at my shin to pick her up. I pick her up and put her on my lap and she LOVES to be pet! So cute/funny. None of my other chooks will let me touch them!
