Can you possibly put up a temporary wall to reduce their space? 10 x 12 is larger than they need. If their space was smaller, their body heat would help raise the temp inside. Also, if you cold insulate even a bit on the walls, it would help. Cheap insulation such as empty water/soda...
The AMERAUU
The Ameraucanas are from a breeder, the BAs are hatchery, BOs & PRs probably hatchery, Highline Browns surely hatchery & we incubated some of our own eggs.
Right now I have Ameraucanas, Black Australorps, Buff Orpingtons, Production Reds, Highline Browns & a few incubator hatched mixed breeds. I’ve got some Wyandottes on the way. I currently have about 50 hens & roosters & they all free range together.
I WANT a couple hens to set. What are the best ways to encourage broodiness? Should I separate these hens from the rest of the flock? Any & all advice appreciated
Please count me in
I have Black Australorp and Ameraucana hens being bred by a Black Australorp & Lavender Ameraucana roos as well as a Silver Sebright & White Silky hens being bred by White & Black with Red/Tan neck feathers roos. Should provide some interesting crosses

Seems like such a clear & simple description. Wish APA/ABA would adopt...
Just had to say I agree! We grew up playing in the dirt, outside. We didn't have antibacterial soap & hand sanitizer. We were rarely sick, even to this day & we're both still healthy, trim and active in our 60's. Our sugar intake was sensibly monitored & we ate fruits & vegetables as well as...
I am thrilled with my Aussies :D. They were hatched on Feb. 8th. The day after their 19th week birthday, I got my first egg from one of the pullets. Got another egg in that pen again yesterday :thumbsup Iwasn't really expecting to get any eggs till they got to 21 weeks old. Love my beauties!:love
