Recently we lost a broody leghorn that set up a large hidden nest outside. Now we are concerned for our broody speckle that has a nest outside the coop close to the leghorns old nest, but its a more protected spot. We still worry about bobcats and coyote. We want to move her into the coop, but worry she'll abandon the nest. What should we do? Move or not? If so, what is best way? The nest has many eggs we are not sure how many days gestation.
I hear you - that design is the result of a lot of sleepless nights on my part! Glad you can use it too!
That's about what size mine is too. We added a 2x4 running along the floor and screwed it into either side of the coop. There are three panels made out of 2x4 squares with hardware cloth screwed into them. The panels attach to the bottom 2x 4 and the side of the coop with a few screws so they are stable but can be easily removed and reverted back once the broody hatch is done. The third middle panel wasn't attached yet in this photo, but it sets in place and then is held in place by slats of wood with one screw in the middle that rotate to hold it in place. Hope that makes sense. Good luck building and good luck with your hatch!
