I have a chick! Boy do I have questions...
The chick hatched this evening and it is one of like maybe 12-16. The box it hatched from is about 3 feet off the ground. I'm nervous to move the hen with all the other eggs right now because I'm afraid something will go wrong and she will either abandon the eggs or the chick or both. I'm thinking of ordering a chicken crate and having it in the coop but providing it as a separation from the flock. When do I move all these eggs with her and the new chick? I know the chick will need food and water so when do I need to get it moved so it can access those things? What's your experience?
 
Okay you have a broody hen on a clutch of eggs and they're starting to hatch and the hen is 3 ft up let me try to find you some help okay.

Would love that! Also, all these eggs aren't hers. The other hens would get up there and lay too! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️
