    Broody BA - moving chicks under cover of night

    Questions for all you chicken geniuses. I have a broody BA. She's been sitting in a nesting box for about a month now and shows no signs of stopping.

    I need help - 5 month old roo being plucked by pullets

    Egg "waddle"?

It's only $14 for a cubic yard-seems like a pretty good deal and I like the fact that it's recycled; just don't know if it's a good idea. Hoping to gain some wisdom from you long-time...
