I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later. One of my BO has gone broody and I've read on here that the way to 'break' a broody is to keep her in a cage that's been elevated so the cool air lowers her body temperature. The cage I have is actually a fairly large kennel. It fits in the run just fine and Opal (the hen) seems fine in it but when I elevate it, I can't help but worry about her feet getting caught in the wire or falling through it. The squares/rectangles are approx. 1" by 3" there's a picture, but it was taken at night and I'm not sure if it'll be much help. Is this something to worry about or am I just beeing a paranoid chicken momma?
