Well, talking about just anything sounds like it's right up my alley. lol

I still have a headache I woke up with yesterday, so I'm trying to take it easy.
I've been trying to work out how I'm going to make my nesting boxes. I'm thinking that I need to find a way to use small tubs, like wash basins (dish tubs). Something I can pick up a broody in and stick here where I want her to brood. I'm thinking of talking to DH about hitting the dollar store; if anyone else has ideas, I'd be grateful! :-)

I have headaches all the time. (daily usually. DX) I have heard large dog kennels work great for broodies. (Whether breaking or hatching.) They can be a little pricey, though.

I'm sorry to hear about your having daily headaches. I used to go through that.

I have one crate, but it's occupied by one of my dogs. lol
I have a brooder and my original coop (which I can separate into as many as three spaces).
I just need a nesting box or three. Currently, I have a nesting corner set up in our new hen house, and the girls seem to like it alright, but they'll lay anywhere else if I don't have the cooped up. KWIM?
I was reading some threads on broodies and hatching and such, and I began to get the idea that it might be best if I could lift the hen, box, w/ eggs, and all out of the hen house and put her where I want her to brood, that would probably be best.
(Did that even make sense???)

In other chatter....
I recently learned how to make my own soap; now I'm trying to look into making lotions and hand creams and such.
