    My broodys have had a bunch of eggs I guess hatch but the chicks die or are dead. Is this normal? They were each sitting on about 15 to 20 eggs.

    High nest

    I have a broody. Shes been sitting for 5 days now. I was wondering if its an issue that the nest is about 3 1/2 to 4 feet off the ground. Will the chicks be able to safely get to the ground with mom once they hatch? Do I have to build a ramp?
