Three broodies in a box

[klb25]

I haven't had broody-hatched chicks in a year, and suddenly these three go broody together. There are plenty of nesting boxes to go around, but these stubborn ladies insist on being together. I tried to separate them; let's just say it didn't go well.

Yes. This one is just a kennel with removable top, but it's everyone's favorite. I try to not bug them but needed to lift the lid and add bedding.

That looks FAR too big for one nesting box.

Like I said, this one is just a kennel. They have their choice of actual nesting boxes. This is the one they pick, every time.
