scarlettohara Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 My nearish neigbours have just asked me if I would like their 2 tier rabbit hutch for a broody coop - needs a bit of work but it will be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutmare Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Oo nice. What else have they got for you? ...Perhaps your neighbours are after some eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 That was good of them. It makes life so much easier when your neighbours are nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 They have just rehomed their 9 chooks (I looked after them while they were on holiday) so I offered eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Excellent I have one and they are so useful as isolation or broody bays I had bunk bed broodies in mine last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 When you have a hen in a broody coop or rabbit hutch - presumably you have a ladder so they can get down from the hutch and feed/poo etc? How does this work once the chicks have hatched? Do you need to lift the hen out a few times a day and remove the ladder so the chicks don't fall out? I have a feeling this is a very silly question but I'm sure you won't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 I will use mine to stop them being broody and yes this one has a ladder into the run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I had Nugget in a 2 tier hutch last year when she hatched Orville the duckling. They were fine in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
