What a great thread..I wonder if you can help me? 14 weeks ago my broody hen hatched one chick..this was the 1st chick with my cockerel. He was very attentive and the chick quickly was integrated into the flock of other 4 girls! The chick even slept under him in the hen house BUT then mum went broody again 2 weeks ago and chick was on its own!! Now she stays apart from the flock and when Cockerel goes near her she runs away!!! Do you know what is going on? I feel so sorry for her, she still goes into hen house at night but during the day wanders about herself!!!
