Hen acting broody, breast feathers mostly gone, red streaks on skin, smells bad

It is but the ground is not even, so parts of the jail are on the ground. I have a bunny hutch, should I be using that instead?

A bunny hutch may be better.

Oh my. I have five hens, two are broody twice a year spring/summer. I have a GLW who is extremely serious about her broodiness! But she’s so sweet it’s hard to be mad.
Broody Seems to happen when it’s either raining or a heat wave.
Five times a year is a lot!
