Update!!! We made a "play pen" so that they could be outside but be separated still. We used an old dog fence that can be pieced together. Then zip tied cardboard and chicken wire! Easy breezy!! Their dog crate house pushes up right so the doors match. They are happy learning to scratch and...

How fun!!! It has been such a fun experience for us. Once our 8th hatched, mother was already up and off the nest. Even that little last one was chirping so sadly all alone in the nest and the hen was a few feet away with the others. But, it made it! Then, the next day, the mother hen actually...
