Well, here's the baby chick with its momma. I had to scoop it out from under momma.

Alright, so this morning I opened the coop door pretty late this morning (10:00). I found the hen and the chick on the bottom of the coop floor. I swear, when I closed the door last night they were up in the nest box. Could the hen of pushed the chick out of the nest box, then laid on it?

I decide to move them to a corner of the coop for more privacy LOL.

My coop is on wood stilts, and to get down it's about a two foot drop. I do have hanging feeders outside that I hang up about 1 off the ground. Do need to put two tiny bowls in the coop next to them with starter and water or will momma find food and water somehow for the chick???

Thanks, Eric
