Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow

I have a broody jail for five to six. It's a 4' long dog kennel. You most likely could get by with something smaller, but the principle is to get it off the ground so there's air flow underneath. When a hen is broody, her hormones turn up the heat on her underbelly. Cooling that down is the trick. There's a 2x4 in there, so they don't have to sit on the wires.

We have a stainless steel bucket (behind the black hen) for feed that hangs on the inside and a nipple bottle from the top. That way, nothing gets tipped over or spilled, but you could figure out ways to tie your feeders and waterers to the sides.
