    City girl who moved to the country and is a new chickie mommy.

    Good Morning everyone! I've lived in Los Angeles all of my life (in the suburbs when I was younger but right smack in the middle of Hollywood for the last 14 years) and recently moved to the country a few months ago.

    Where should my broody hen sleep with her new chicks?

    I have a broody hen with newly hatched chicks, and I intend to keep her with the main flock and not intervene too much. The box she laid her eggs in is raised off the ground. Once she jumps down with her chicks, where will they sleep? It's still cold here in Australia, about 8-12 degrees C at night.
