Maybe she will keep the chicks in the nest ( if) they hatch and bring them food. good luck.

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.

That's crazy cool but maybe not the safest place for her with some predators.

A little history on the hen might explain why she chose a tree lol

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.

Have seen videos of this wood ducklings launching themselves out of trees, but they generally land on water around here

She’s got to be close to hatch day. Any updates?
