Weather permitting I am starting my Coop build this weekend. It is a 10x10 and in one corner I was going to have a 4x4 area with removable hanging partitions covered in hardware cloth with a door to get into it. I would leave the partitions down until I have some girls that are going broody at which time I was going to cage off that corner and provide two separate broody box/nests to accommodate up to two broody moms at once. Will more then one broody mom (with their own nest boxes) work well with each other in the sectioned off area sharing a common area outside of the nests and sharing food/water? If so how big should the nest box be and more specifically how far off the ground to facilitate the chicks getting in and out? Thanks for your time. Travis
