Appropriate Hospital Set Up?

[Kkakes414]

Would this be an appropriate recovery coop? I know it’s a rabbit hutch and I would make small modifications if need be. I have a hen that we are going on a week of battling sour/impacted crop (I’ve never dealt with it before) And I hate having her in my garage as she isn’t around the other girls if I had this I could put her near them. Just curious what other people use that is small and can be placed outside.

That looks nice but I doubt it's going to last long outside, especially since it's listed as for "indoor."

What we use is a giant wire dog kennel. We found ours on Facebook Marketplace for half the cost, then when we needed another, we found one at TSC.

This is in our breeding coop as a broody jail, but would work as a hospital too.

During the day, I'd leave it open, but at night, just cover with a blanket or move her back into the garage.

I'd check on Marketplace as you might find something else there that's sturdier than the one you found.
