Broody hotel

[artsvarc]

They just won't break outside, 90's if not 100° most days. I'm leaving for vacation so they'll be in the basement with a fan for the next 4 days. Really hoping this works, they've been broody for weeks!!

There they are! 4 boxes in each hotel, each box is 1 by 1 and each hotel is 2 by 2. It's hand drawn so it's a little messed up...

That's a pretty good description of a typical broody breaker cage.
Not sure about the swaying aspect of broody breaking.
It doesn't need to hang, it can also just be propped up on things to get air flow underneath, I use a couple of 4x4's.

each box is 1 by 1

1' x 1' is a bit small.
Crate I posted above is 24"L x 18"W x 19"H
