LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

I don't know which thread you are talking about, so I can't say for sure. I understand not wanting to make things into a bigger deal as that can create more barriers. I also feel like calling for backup can be appropriate because if transphobic behavior is tolerated it can encourage more transphobic behavior.

Either way, I'm sorry that happened.
thank you. Also, any tips on how to break a broody?

My experience goes about like this: After her setting for 3 days and nights in the nest (or as soon as I know they are broody), I put her in a wire dog crate (24"L x 18"W x 21"H) with smaller wire(1x2) on the bottom but no bedding, set up on a couple of 4x4's right in the coop or run with feed and water.

After 48 hours I let her out of crate very near roosting time(30-60 mins) if she goes to roost great, if she goes to nest put her back in crate for another 48 hours.

Tho not necessary a chunk of 2x4 for a 'roost' was added to crate floor after pic was taken, gives the feet a break from the wire floor and encourages roosting.
