I'm praying I have 3 baby Mandy's hatching in 5 days! I had 4 that developed but one quit. Mommy hen did a great job these first 3 weeks, and I just brought them in and put them in my brinsea. Hoping I do a good job hatching them.

Thanks. I am going out to get pictures of it in the pen.
It was the laminated wood from lowes about 16 in wide. And then stained it black cherry.
