BERTIE MCSQUIRTY Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 i have a broody hen - she wont come out of the box -so i am contemplating moving her into the shed (which actually is just a log store and fairly empty) and putting a few bantam eggs under her. now the question is- would i be best to move all the chickens (3 of them) into the wood shed at night and just open the door in the day? i have a portable perch and was thinking of putting a couple of boxes in there for laying. i was anxious about separating her from her peers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffball Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 if you are going to hatch chicks then i wouldn't put the others with her once you have the eggs under her but if not then she will be less lonely with her friends there hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
