This is my first experience with a broody since I have only had chickens for a few months. I figured out one of my buff orpingtons was broody last night. I've been shooing her out of the nest about once every hour today. Now I think my 2nd buff is following suit.
I have a large dog crate they could both fit in. Should I tip it on it's side? The bottom wires are spaced largely apart. Normally it has a plastic tray.
Also, I can't fit it in my coop and I don't think I should leave them out in the run all night??
I don't think it would be a good idea to put them in the garage because I just discovered a mom and three babies squirrels running around in there this morning.
This day is not turning out how I had planned! Lol.
