here is the picture (see my silkies head?). It is a totally safe environment as she is the only chicken I have. The nesting box is about 12 -16 inches off the ground. I could build a ramp pretty easily. Thanks for any help.
Thank you. I am just having trouble visualizing the nesting area. As the box is off the ground how do the chicks get in and out or do you put a new box on the ground. I want to be successful with my last attempt at chicken raising.
I have baby chicks coming. I only have one chicken left and she is a broody silkie. I want to attempt to put chicks with her but am confused as to what this should look like. I know you put them in a night but if they are in the nesting box with the adult how do they eat and drink? Do you...
