Hey, feathered friends!

For the past two months, I've been pulling my plumage out trying to persuade my broody bantam to prefer the nest box I purchased from Tractor Supply. She kept picking the roll-away box instead, leaving me flummoxed and frustrated.

After plenty of pondering, I finally figured out the fix—and it’s so simple it’s silly! Presenting the 7-gallon nursery pot privacy provider!

Yes, folks, you read that right. All it took was plopping a pot on top to provide some peace and privacy. Now, my banty is blissfully brooding in her box, as you can see in the photo below. And her chick chums seem quite content with the change too!

Who knew the cure for my coop conundrum was right in the garden all along?

Anyone else have brilliantly basic solutions to share? Let’s hear those hilarious hacks!

Happy hen-keeping!

Are you going to let her set there? It isn't predator proof.
It's inside their coop tractor. They won't hatch in there though, they'll get moved to a converted playhouse and stay in there for a few weeks before letting the mama introduce them to the flock.
