Chicken going Broody too young?

[BossTorres89]

I've been keeping her out in the yard more and she's not going up to nest as much. Which is good and I remove eggs as soon as they are laid just trying to keep her busy.

Its bigger than it looks lol

Looks like you could get 4 Large Fowl(LF) in there, but add just 1 broodzilla LF and my other birds would all need a hotel every night.

That is true I'll have to do a little remodeling just in case. Lol

This is not meant as a criticism, but as a way to assist.

Exactly.

I've got a pretty good eye for size.
I'd bet that the coop floor, not including the nest(s), is about 2' x 4'.
Then you have to subtract the pop door opening in the floor, where the ramp is.

What does the inside look like?
Please, take your tape measure and camera out there and post the results.

Maybe that's fine for your 4 birds, but I wouldn't add any more in there.
On the other hand it would make a great broody coop,
if the other birds had a larger coop connected to the big run.

Oh, and...Pardon my lack of manners...Welcome to BYC! @BossTorres89
Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!
