My goodness, I tried a frozen water bottle in the egg box to break my broody copper maran. How could that not work? She turned it into hot water in 3 hours! I wish I made the egg boxes closable for nighttime.

I messed up. I lost one of my favorite chickens last night because I went to bed without closing everything up. I'm lucky to still have the 4 survivors, but I'm feeling very bad right now. What I want is a silent, remote door sensor that will turn on a small light next to my bed when it's open...
