BROODIES.......to dunk or not to dunk?

Again, if you do this, be sure there is air flow below the cage. Set it on concrete blocks or something.

Oh yeah. The ones I use have bottoms that are raised a few inches off the ground with droppings pans underneath.

Kind of like this:

Edited to add that my birds never freaked out...at least not until they were broken of their broodiness and it was mild. It might be because they were all VERY serious with being broody and all of them were seasoned setters. LOL Or it may be that they have been shown and are used to being prepped, separated and put into show pens? I don't know.

Or you could just sell them to me in Mid-April when my coop is ready. I am actively seeking a couple of broodies and I am just across the border in Albany, NY. Then you would have space in your flock for 2 more chicks...cute little fuzzy butts

It's a thought... PM me if you are interested in selling them.
