= 22"L x 13"W x 16"H--I think I may have this size; is it too narrow? 24"L x 18"W x 19"H--99% positive I have this size

We have a 5' by 10' coop/run combo (like https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/bluegrass-coop ). The "house" part is 4' by 5', but our hens are free range, so most of the day they are nowhere near the coop. I could put a 24" long dog crate in a corner of the run area--it's completely enclosed...

This is our first year with chickens. We have eight 8.5 month old hens of different breeds. Our buff orpington has been acting broody for three days; on days 1 and 2 she laid, but no egg today. I tried taking the bedding out of her chosen nest box (we have 3), but she still wanted in there...

MrBblue5150, what bedding do you have in there--corn cob? This will be my first experience with chicks and I'm trying to make up my mind exactly how to set up their space. I'm ordering the EcoGlow today; I'll probably get chicks in a couple of weeks. ~Kristin
