Quick advice on chicks and Omlet Go Up

I’ve put our broody hen on some eggs and if my candling is right we’ve got a couple of chicks on the way (sadly most of them don’t seem to have developed). Our broody is in the nesting box of our usual chicken house but I want to move her ASAP (before chicks arrive) in case our other chicken gets jealous and attacks any chicks we get.

So I need a new house. Temporary only so it doesn’t need to be big. An eglo go up with small run has come up locally - would this make a good home for the mother and chicks or is the door too high for them to get in and out of? Thanks!

Doh! I mean the ‘go’ not the ‘go up’!

We put baby chicks in with our broody hen one night. She's totally adopted them and visa versa. Bloody brilliant.
