Yes, she's been inside the entire time she has been caged. It's December so I didn't feel comfortable keeping her in a cag in the cold with no bedding or anything to keep her warm. idk. I could put her in the living as where the room she is in now is always warm and gets hot so the living room is cooler.
If she wasn't a silkie I'd say put her outside......but not sure their feathers keep them warm.
Okay so I should just maybe newspaper and then put her in the living room? That's where theres most airflow. But wont she just lay on the ground then? She did that or was doing that when I woke up to see her.
You need to remove the tray, put down hardware cloth, and set the crate up on blocks somewhere cooler.
Yes the coop is too small for the crate. And yes the run is covered but the cold, and the other hens pick on her so shell be stressed in the cage.
Lol I did that 24/7 and she just runs back and sits on nothing.
LOL i guess that doesnt work for every chicken, i read a million different things online how to stop your broody hen and there are weird "methods" such as dunking the hen in the water. Not sure if it works.
