I've seen the thread on HOW, but SHOULD I? My nest boxes are about 5 feet in the air (suspended from the ceiling). Will that be a problem when the chicks hatch? Will they injure themselves leaving the nest? Will Mama stay down on the ground with them at night, or go back up to her nest? My neighbor says not to worry, but the closer we get to hatch day (3-4 days to go), the more I"m doubting his wisdom!
Based on comments to the "how to move" thread, IF I move her, I think I will wait till night then detach the box and set it on the floor.
Any and all thoughts greatly appreciated! This is my first broody!
