My broodys eggs hatched yesterday and the last on through the night, she hatched 4 eggs she'd sat on and I slipped under 3 more chicks yesterday whilst the last egg was still hatching. She didnt notice id added them and was no issues until this morning. She is pecjing SOME of her chicks, not all. It is not exclusively the added chicks either but all chicks that are light in colour. There is two black chicks and she has not touched them once. The remaining 5 she goes for whenever she sees them. She has not hurt them yet, neither do I want her too, but why is she singling out the light chicks (two of which are her hatched chicks) and how can I discourage her?! I'm preparing to perhaps having to remove them but really would have loved the broody to raise them.
