Upper nesting box

[FleishyWifey]

We just had a broody hen hatch 2 eggs today (happy Mother’s Day) but they’re in the highest nesting boxes. Do I move them to a lower spot? Or leave them way up high? Thanks in advance

Have all the eggs hatched?

Yes

 

[DobieLover]

Yes

Then take mom and the 2 chicks out and let her nest with them on the coop floor. I assume you've got lots of dry fluffy bedding on the floor.

Thank you so much. They’ll be okay on the floor?

I'd move them so they don't fall and get hurt. Do you have and lower nesting boxes you can put them in?

As long as their mother is with them, absolutely.
