Bantam breed?

[JedJackson]

Oh wow that’s an amazing idea!!! Thank you I still have them in the nest box because I was worried about the other hens getting their chick feed. And there really safe up there for now because they are bantams and I have a pretty tall lip on the edge of the nest boxes. But I must get them to the ground. Thank you for your help!
All this time Dezz has been so nice with me checking her eggs giving her water and food but she pecked me yesterday when I was checking on the babies lol I was shocked but I praised her! “Good mommy”

Yes, looks like she is a very good mother. The main concern is making sure everyone gets food and water. If you can do that in the nest, then it is fine, but eventually either the babies will get restless or mama hen will. If you put the babies on the ground, I bet she will hop down to them. Wear gloves if you try it!

It went over very well, the babies went into the hut. I also put some chick feed outside the hut for mommy and to entice the babies to go into the hut.
Thanks to everyone for all the help! Babies have names as of yesterday!!! Easter Egger is Cookie and silver duckwing is Darwyn Hopefully they are girls
