Great idea for using a seedling mat! Your girls are beautiful, love all the different colors!

[@thehomesteadingrd]

It works so well! :) Thank you

[@mikedeuter1570]

I enjoyed the video a lot. I will be watching for more.

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Hooray! I'm so pleased to hear that :) My next video will be out tomorrow!

[@margethomssen9964]

You are so thoughtful to your ladies.

[@thehomesteadingrd]

I love to spoil them! :)

take the old nesting box you removed and build a new bottom box under it with an approx 3 in tall gap. you then place a 40 to 60 watt light bulb within this gap to create 40 to 50 degree air gap. leave a 2in hole on the opposite side for air flow to escape.

Great set up!!

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Thank you!!

Fantastic idea to keep the eggs from freezing 👍❤️

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Thank you! It should work well :)

[@jodid9418]

What a genius idea for your chicken nesting boxes! 🤗

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Thank you! I'm pretty excited about it! (the ladies are too, haha)

[@blackIce504]

Hi , i was thinking you should put a camera in there and see how they interact with the chicken hatch thing, the first thing i thought of when i looked at it was the height seems a bit low especially with your chickens they look big, but anyway just a thought.
Oh how many watts are the heating pads?

[@Journey-NB]

Very good video. Nice to see you interact with your animals.

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Thank you and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it :) I'll be sure to include them more often!

[@danidietscher200]

I absolutely love this idea! Do you have the instructions/plans for making these nesting boxes? I'm starting to look at getting chickens, and our budget is calling for a lot of DIY 😅

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Yay! It working really well so far. I don't have any formal plans for it, but it's a pretty easy project. Check out my article to figure out the right dimensions for your flock: thehomesteadingrd.com/chicken-nesting-box-size/ Good luck!

The ladies are loving their new nesting boxes :)
