She was too busy brooding I gave her enough space for the feed and water and a dust bath proably about three feet by two. Then once the chicks hatched the wire kept them contained till they were a few days old the chicken wire I used was one inch. But I put cardboard around the base so no one squeezed out. worked good like a broody lid....
Oh and I made just a simple wire door on the top to access food and water.

Hey guys I have a question. So I have six eggs set that orignally had one broody hen sitting on them. Well I now have 4 (and a half I guess) broodies. The eggs are due to hatch this weekend and I don't want the mom's to fight over them. I have a big dog crate that I can move them into. But should I even bother? Should I try to make a pen around the nest box instead? What if the hen wants to get out of the pen and won't take care of the babies? Please help!
Thanks! I'm going to build it all tomorrow.She was too busy brooding I gave her enough space for the feed and water and a dust bath proably about three feet by two.
