At least one of my 2 eggs have hatched, either last night or early this morning. I have a make shift nest box with food and water inside a dog crate. I know the chicks will be able to fit through the bars. When do I take the crate away? I figure I will leave the box for sleeping since they need a nest easily accessible. I don't want to chicks going through the bars without mama and I'm not sure if it is too early to open the crate as I have 7 other chickens.
