My first time mama Raven, just hatched at least one of her eggs. Her nest is in a bin however and I'm afraid the baby won't be able to get up out to eat or drink, but mama is still setting on them and is very protective. Should I intervene or let mama on her babies and remaining eggs. (I've only seen one chick this far and it's an old English silkie cross that is very small lol)

Can you put a small feed and water container in there?
But really, the chick should be fine for up to 36 hours without food or water, as they live off the yolk.
I do have a water container and food container in the coop with the shallow bin for her nest. But not inside the bin itself. Thank you, that is reassuring lol
