Chirping
My coop is a 12x12 horse stall. I currently have 2 broody hens in a large dog cage sitting on "special" eggs I ordered. I need to partition off an area of the coop for when the chicks hatch so they can have a safe nursery to grow up in. I have several different types of wires laying around including some plastic chicken fencing. I have looked into some mesh types also. I have a staple gun. I'd love to know what other folks have done that worked well. Every design I come up with makes it very difficult for me to access it daily while still creating a safe nursery. The rest of my flock is very interested in "getting in" with the broodies b/c they get special food and I suspect this will continue once the chicks come. Tell me what you did that worked please. The floor of my coop is heavy rubber stall mats with pine shavings. Thank you!!
