Box
A 12 x 12 x 24" high nestbox would suit your IRN.
Provide a welded wire ladder attached to the side leading to the hole.
2 to 3" of wood shavings as substrate will help to prevent
splayed legs in chicks.
Check the shavings from time to time as your tidy housekeeper
might throw them all out. Replenish accordingly.
