Hatching eggs with mama

[lupia]

I had a brooding chicken. So I put 6 fertilized eggs under her. They should be hatching any day now. She’s up high in the coop. And when eggs hatch I’m afraid they will fall off. if I move eggs down to safer place will mama follow? And should I let her raise them? set up area outside? Or should I just move themin until they feather? Not sure what next steps should be

I'm afraid that I have no experience with broody hens raising chicks.

Sorry, that's another thing I'm not experienced with.

My strong points are coops, Deep Litter/Deep Bedding, some kinds of homemade, equipment, and a little bit of day-to-day management, and behavior.

But there are people who will help you on that forum. You can count on it.
