Hello, the problem i have is that my bantam hen is sitting on 10 eggs right now and it is day 17. The coop that she is in while sitting on her nest is about 2 1/2 to 3 ft. off the ground. Can yall please advise me as to what i should do about the baby chicks being that high off the ground? will the momma only take them down the board when they are ready?, and another thing, my chickens free range and i lock them up at night, will the babies be allright out of the coop rangeing with their momma? or should i cage them up with the momma. i am sorry for rambling ,but have never hatched chickens before i just want them to be OK. i sure do hope to get at least a 50% hatch cause my little hen sure is doing a great job
