The only problem with the wir cage is where to put it should I suspend it inside the coop and keep hef in it day and night with water and food?

A broody buster is very simple - a small water/food container is placed in the cage and nothing else - no roost, no bedding. The elevation can be as simple as using blocks or other items to safely raise the cage off floor level. The bird is left in the cage 24 hours a day and I usually give them their first "test release" after 2-3 days to see if they have decided they no longer wish to be broody.

Could I take her inside and put her in tub with cool water and let her dry inside or does it defeat the purpose?

That is what ill do! Thanks so much ol grey mare!
