Another Broody Box

So, at this point, we have 8 broody hens.

Let me just say, that is a lot!

All those people telling me that domestic chickens don't go broody and that we will need to select certain breeds to go broody... well, they never met my flock.

So we have built 2 more broody boxes. We were able to use some leftover paint and lumber. They didn't come together quite as nice as the other ones, but they will work.

We also used some chalkboard paint on the ends so that we can mark the boxes with a date so that we will be able to tell them all apart.

Now, we have 4 broody boxes. All of which are filled.
