My best box is up high off the ground. I have a broody hen hatching chicks today. Babies are too little to jump down. Do I need to move the babies down so they can get to food and water or will the mama some how bring it up to nest?
 
There's no way a hen can take enough food for the chicks who are up on the nest. Nor could the hen take water to them the best advice is to move her and the chicks to a safe place when re bottom is solid and the chicks are safe enough. I hope they all hatch health and you should upload some pictures of your chicks to see them.
