    Momma "weening" babies???

    We had our first natural hatch the beginning of June. She hatched out 6 and we have ended up with 4. My question is this... will a mother hen leave her chicks? She doesn't want to have anything to do with them now. Will even pick on them as if to put them in their pecking order.
