Been following along, sooo happy for your sweet Pippin. I’m very impatiently waiting on my broody Sunny to hatch 7 borrowed eggs. Day 9

Well this girl goes broody every year (she’s the one in my profile pic) and we have no rooster. I have neighbors with chickens so I get their hopefully fertile eggs and let her sit and hatch out babies. Not sure what kind? An Olive Egger, Ameracauna for sure but the rest?? I started with 16, gave her 3 and was going to incubate the rest but the incubator couldn’t keep its temp so I lost some and a few were infertile. 4 more went under her last night and they looked good when I candled. Fingers crossed!!

Do you have anything that could create a lip at the opening? you can probably cut out the bottom of a cardboard box and place it over pippin as some kind of fence

There isn't enough room to make a barrier
