The Grass Boxes
The idea is pretty simple.
1) Make a wood frame ( like you would do for a raised garden bed)
2) Built a door. Staple the rubber net ( there are some very thick and heavy duty nets available), then screw another piece of wood to pin the net like a sandwich ( I used a 1x2 on the...
For those of you who asked me questions about the grass boxes, I apologise for not replying. I'm afraid I have not been online or on any social media for some years now (for personal reasons).
When I first posted this photos I did not expected to be that much of a novelty ( I got the idea...

Sounds like she is trying to go broody.
It's up to you if you want to have a broody hen in the middle of the winter. I would not recommend it, it makes it harder for a successful hatching rate, plus it will be to cold for the chicks to survive outside. You can brake her habit by taking her...
