My hen is REALLY broody

Thanks guys. I'm building a new coop soon and I'm going to have a little space only for mother hens and their chicks. I'll block off the place where she's nesting as soon as I hear peeping.

Ok thanks guys. When I start to hear peeping I'll block off the space where they're hatching with wood or something. I'm making a new coop soon and I'm going to have a small space only for chicks and their mothers kind of like a nursery.

Thats what I do... I just got a dog house from tractor supply, put a cupboard door on it... It has a hinge lid, so very easy to clean out as needed.

I candled the eggs just now and I see life!
