Two down
Brown bonnet is broody, the second hen to go. That means it's time to renovate the covered wagon, since my original design proved to not hold up to chickens jumping all over it, and the "door" broke off from metal fatigue from all the bending. So it got a new wooden front, and a flapping door held on by twist ties. Back in the greenhouse, BB was waiting in the box she'd been put into so I could make renovations. She's not a nervous first-time mom. She calmly rolls with anything, even being put in a little box

Most times when a hen goes broody she sits on the eggs and doesn't get up. I can put them in a cramped box with a water cup and snack bowl and they don´t budge until the eggs crack.This hen is different. I was sure she was broody, but I kept seeing her outside every mid-morning for an hour or so. I gave her some eggs, and thought that would change, but six days later, she was faithful to her eggs...as long as she had a breakfast break. Different.
