    Looking for some feedback on my broody buster

    She is moving around non stop! I still don't trust her though. I'll give her a day or two in there with some time to roam the yard. The tray underneath is actually meant to lay in the bottom of the cage but I was under the impression you want it as open and airy as possible.
