Hey. I have . . . some sort of coop, not sure exactly. And it has two nest boxes attached to the door about 1 foot up. They are being used by the hens for laying. My question is can the hen hatch eggs in these nests? Or will the chicks get injured when they have to make the descet down to the floor of the coop? Do hens return to the nest every night with their chicks? Cause surely there is no way the chicks can fly 1 foot up at day 1.
