Had the others not trampled them, I probably could have saved them.

They were probably trampled by the mom jumping back and forth trying to teach them how to jump up.

nope, had a trail cam up in the pen as we used to have rat issues and we use it as a way to watch for that issue. It was the other chicks. She literally jumped in the box and just sat there for 3 or 4 hours. Once she was in, she wouldn't get back out.

sad thing is this was a ground level box. It just had the tallest sides. It was a milk crate while the rest were older wooden crates with handles on each side. The wooden ones were about 6inches tall. The milk crate of couse is almost a foot tall. She's only got the option of the wooden crates or the ground now.
