How high can baby chicks jump from?

Like from nesting boxes

I've seen a broody hen get her chicks out of a 10 feet high (3 meter) hay loft. She said jump, they did, bounced up, and ran to her. My broody hens often hatch in nests about 4ft (1.2 meter) above the coop floor. The chicks have no problems jumping down from those.

Birds are immune to fall damage
