I have a hen who was broody so we decided to let her sit on some eggs. She hatched 3 and did great until now. The chicks are 3-4 weeks old and today she is chasing one away whenever it gets close. She even picked it up by the neck and tossed it. It is staying as far away from her as possible. I am worried that she is going to hurt it - I don't know if this has anything to do with it but this chick is a different color (blk/wht) than the others who are gold. She's raised them well up to this point. If I pull the chick, what do I do with it? He/she will be all alone.
