I have a hen setting about 40 foot up a tree. She somehow decided she liked an abandoned squirrel nest. Has anyone else seen this before? I have a video of her going back on the nest but I'm not sure how to share it. I figured it out. Here is the link.

Wow! That is crazy.

To share, you'll have to upload to a third party site such as YouTube or Vimeo. Then copy and share the link here.

Oh my gosh, if they hatch, how will she get them down to eat/drink?

I think you need to post the clip to youtube then link it here.

There have been several posts of similar situations. 40' is quite a drop. I'd be tempted to pile lots of loose hay around the base of the tree. I know that wood duck ducklings can drop that far without injury, but I'm not sure about chicks.
