Ok, so we just got a new hen and juvenile chicken(idk the gender), that just joined our flock.
My Easter Egger named Hawk(yes a chicken named Hawk) took a liking to the juvenile...and she has now gone broody. 2 Eggs are under her atm..
My question is what do i do when thay hatch?
Hawk is a "High Flying" hen.. meaning she loves to be a high up place.. and has chosen the nest box highest off the ground...
it is about 4.5 - 5 Feet off ground with no ramp to it.. just the roost bars next to the boxes so they can climbe up in them..
I do have a small Hutch like Coop that the high boxs sit on. The lower nest boxs are in there an that one has a ramp. It is about 2 feet off the ground, But Hawk hates it...
Once the chicks hatch how will thay get down and back up? Do i need to make a ramp to the high ones?
Sorry Obviously I am a first time chick mommie lol..
so yea any advice?
