I have a broody chicken on some eggs. My question is my coop is kind of high up in the air. After the eggs hatch I would like the hen to do the work and stay with her chicks. I will add a photo of coop. There is also a door on the back but the chickens jump down to the run in the back. Should I wait till they are all done hatching or should I try to move the hen and eggs and put in a dog crate? Will the chicks try to follow mom out of the coop right away? Will they stay in the nest box for a few days? I appreciate any input, thanks.
 
I would build something on the ground with protection for them all. Or the chicks may get hurt or killed falling out of the coop.
