Newly hatched babies

[WVPrincess304]

So my broody hen is currently sitting on 6 eggs. What should I do with mom and babies once they hatch? My coop is a raised coop approx 3 feet off the ground with a long ramp up to the door. I don't want mom to take the chicks out and they fall from the ramp.

Can you build/provide a separate area for them until the chicks become more mobile?

That is what I am thinking I will have to do.

Did you figure anything out? (I suppose they have hatched by now!) Same situation here. I would like to just section off some of the coop for them to stay in but I'm trying to figure out how to do that. Trying to look on here for info.
I just got some fertilized eggs for my broody since this is the third time she's gone broody this year! I think she will be an amazing mom since she seems to *really* want babies. She's currently just taking up a nesting box in the coop but I could get her a crate and move her into a sectioned off area if I could figure out how to do it!
