When the hens new house was built, I have a hen who would push all other hens off the entire roost cuz she wanted it for herself. In the morning, I would find the other hens in different places in the hen house. I drapped a small soft blanket over part of the roost and now she covets her...
Very strange thread indeed. Never withhold food or water from any hen/creature in your care for any reason. Some of these 'broody solutions' sound like old wives tales. Give her a fertile egg and let nature take its course.
Love the coop design! Perfect spot for shade, sun, and privacy. Thanks for sharing pics of your girls and of Sadie and Pixie. Your love for your animal family members really shows :)
Good going! The only pic I've uploaded myself is my avatar pic, but found if you type in the search bar 'how to upload pics' a few answers come up. That's if you have them loaded onto your computer. Maybe someone else can help you along a little more than I. Have fun with the build!
I have to ditto the above comment, but the crate is a good base start, and adding on shouldn't be too much of a problem. This is where it can be fun, the expanding part can get creative. Looking forward to pics :)
