Quote: I totally understand - Yes as soon as the other's hatch I'll move them all to the ground level, that makes perfect sense that it'll be easier for them to get back to mama. So far the one chick mostly just hangs out under mama, so hopefully he/she won't explore to much before the...

OK. I can do that. I will dress the floor up with tons of bedding and make create a sort of 'stepped' system in there so they won't have far to fall if they do. The coop is very enclosed - but has a removable back panel. It is a solid wall, basically, but removable. I guess maybe I should make...

OK, taking a deep breath. Thank you for the help - it gives me a little more confidence that perhaps this will turn out OK. I will go out and get chick starter right away, and put water into the coop with them. I am afraid any ramp I build will be too steep, as the coop wall is only about 2...
