    Broody Hen - Dog Crate floor?

    One of my four 3-year-old Black Australorps has been broody for around a month. Each day I removed her 3 or 4 times from the egg box to free-range in the backyard. She’d stay out for a while, then was back in an egg box again. It was disrupting the other three, then some of the hens started...

    What "stage 2" cage do you use before the chicken coop?

    My 12 chicks are quickly outgrowing their current cage. They are 2 1/2 weeks old. Our chicken coop isn't built yet and they need a bigger space. What did you use? What is a guideline for how much room they need? When can I put them outside?
