    I know! I wish I could show you the pics! When she sat you couldn't see one of them bad boys, so you can imagine my surprise when I shooed her off the nest to take a peek! I didn;t choose right away cause it was a bit warmer. I decided to let Mother Nature do the picking for me. I let 10 days...

    Thanks Coop chick! Since my last post I did put her nest into a cat carrier.... much to her dismay.. but she came around. I didn't move it into the coop as she was pretty hesitant to even get in the carrier and I was afraid she would abandon it all together. So now I lock her in at night only...

    Thank you all soo much! So I think after your advice I will find a small dog/cat crate and make her a little nest and then move that into the coop safe and sound. She is an OEGB so she needs little space. Last few questions, I use shavings for the coop... is that ok for nest as well? Also...
