Tiny Broody Coop

[Aleelupton]

Does anyone know where I can buy or order this or another TINY broody coop? I feel like I have scoured the internet and can't find anything like this.

Go on to Facebook marketplace and look for rabbit hutches. We got one and cut a door in the enclosed side so we could check and on and clean the nest. Normally some are free or cheap amd cover with 1/2" hardware cloth already

$15o near you
$25 add some legs and clean up

That could be someones's home made hutch.
Does not look like it would be to hard to build.
If you do build it, replace the chicken wire with hardware cloth to keep racoon paws and smaller rodents and weasels out. Also something to think about with this kind of ground coop, is can a fox, coyote or dog dig under and gain entrance thT way?
If you live near an amish comunity, i am sure someone there would be willing to build you one like this in no time flat.
the amish about 50 miles from me build small coops and someone puts them on craigslist for sale for them.
Good luck in your search!

This broody coop will be inside our large coup with the idea that I can detach the run and put them outside in the larger run with the other chickens for a field trip until momma is ready for them to go out with the other chickens. It will be like a coop inside a coop Haha!

Bantam chicks can go right through chicken wire! I'd use hardware cloth, even if it is safer in your coop.
I've used a very large pet airline crate for this too, and sometimes craigslist has useful items available. I would avoid anything from another chicken coop though.

I agree. I would much rather build new or buy new than try to clean something that has been used. Too much risk of cross contamination.

There are plenty of new tiny coops out there for sale...many would be perfect for a broody coop/run. You'd have to look carefully at the dimensions of the coop and run rather than the number of birds they claim they will house.

Wayfair.com has some little ones that are decent. You can get a 20 dollar off coupon

I found a little one on Wayfair. I had free delivery and found a coupon code online. So far, it has held up well for a hospital coop.

I couldn't find one I liked so we decided to build one. It doesn't have an enclosed nesting area, but we can always add that later.
