Touch wood i have only 1 chick that is a bit smaller so i just pop it into nest of youngsters same size, that seems to work for me I have only hand reared or toped up British when i had them.

Changing the nest pans...
That wsa why I liked the bigger nest pans I had last year...the hen had to build quite a nest to fill it., the chicks then shat on the wide edges of the nest rather than in the box...very messy nest but minimal cleaning of the box...

Just go's to show even the hens can get it right.
Glad everything is going OK and hope it stays that way.
