Hi! I'm relatively new to the world of keeping chickens and want some advice about good coop setups for a hen to raise her own chicks.
We got our first batch of chicks in the spring. 4 bantam hens and a rooster. Come spring, if one of the hens goes broody, I'd like to let her raise some peeps.
Our current setup is a tractor style A-frame coop with a nest box on each end in the loft.
From what I've read, it sounds like I shouldn't let her raise chicks inside here with the other chickens. Any thoughts on that?
Does anyone have any plans or pictures of a mini-tractor setup for a hen with peeps?
