I just had a broody hen hatch one chick after several tries. She has stayed in the coop woth all the other birds and I'm leaning towards leaving them in there as I dont really have anywhere else to put them. The box they are in is about three feet off the ground with a platform I installed in front of the box. My question is do I need to put food and water up there for the chick or does mama go out and bring this stuff back for it?
