Everyone but me has broody hens.

And me! Ridges is thinking about it though!

I don't. I was just teasing RC. Phyllis is not broody.

Until Mrs. Bob decides otherwise

Those are true words. I have tried many times to limit the number of cats to no avail.

My brother's Agriculture class are raising meat chickens, but my class feeds them and gives them water when they are out. On Mondsy we went to move the tractor and a kid screamed "THERES A DEAD CHICK!!" I was already annoyed because no one would listen to my poor teacher.
"MRS....... IS DOING SOMETHING ELSE, JUST CHILL!" I snapped. Everyone glares at me. I honestly don't care...
The chicken had probably died from the cold. We went from high 80's to low 50's. Poor chick.

Thank you. Get your sleep though.
EDIT: property about 45 minutes away. We do have a trailer.

I saw a coop/run BUILT on a flatbed trailer one time. I was leaving work and they were parked near my vehicle. It was a framed box of hardware cloth with clear polycarbonate (or similar) on the front, roof, half the sides. (Travel wind blocker) Human door in the end across the back of the trailer. Coop was a stilt coop at the front (shade under the coop). Roosts both inside the coop and out, trailer was floored in astroturf I think.

Personally, I think the coop/run was too small for the birds, but I have 23 birds and they have the run of the property (over an acre). As a way of transporting their hens, FANTASTIC! As a concept: genius! Temporary housing unless more room gets added at permanent location.

Sorry to hear this, it's like the Spring hormone rush and should settle down in a month or so.

I wonder if you can put her to bed earlier - if she was in a darker area might settle her down
