Thinking about Martha's situation...if chicks hatch, there is a short drop from the nest box to the coop floor. I could add some fresh straw under the A-frame roost, chick waterer, Martha, any chicks, and put a barrier in front. See photo, below.
I don't want to do anything to upset Martha or hurt chicks, but I also want to keep them safe.
Would it be better to move her before or after a hatch?
This is the A-frame roost. I already blocked off one end in anticipation.
