I have a broody silkie who wants to lay on her eggs in a nesting box which is approx 1ft off the coop floor. I have tried to relocate her on the floor but she isn't interested. She has decided on the nesting box and that's that. I've never hatched using a broody before. When the chicks hatch do they stay really close to mum until they all hatch or will they potentially wander off and fall out of the nesting box? I was thinking that i could potentially move mum and chicks into a box on the floor of the coop once they have hatched but is this practical / too risky an idea?
