    Separate broody hen?

    Would anyone mind sharing photos of their setup? We have a broody Cochin bantam that we are trying to break and I’m contemplating letting her hatch some eggs next spring if she keeps at this. Would love to see how you have them separated or what setup you use for the hen and chicks.

    Rhode Island Red? Pullet or cockerel?

    Also, I know not the same breed but she was the same age as our Barred Rock (shown in one of the photos above) - which turned out to be a roo. Not 💯 positive but my guess on yours would be roo.

    Run material help! Sand? Wood chips?

    We are planning to use sand in the coop for ease of cleaning but I’m concerned that the girls will get bored in the run with just sand. Thoughts? Add a raised bed with something else for variety? Small composting pile/bin? We are planning to do at least one grazing box. We need something...
