Ok. So I have a golden SEbright hen who hatched out one chick. The chick is about 4 weeks old now. I had them in a pen intue barn but when I go to feed the hen freaks out and tramples her chick all the time. Today I went out and the hick has his hea tilted. Still acting alright just. Little off balance. If I keep them in the pen she just runs him over more because it can't move out of her way fast enough now. If I Put them in the coop she half ignore it and it can't get away from the other hens well .

I have 2 week old standard babies in the barn and 5 day old hatched out bantams too (all in different Pen of course). Should I pull the peep away from the hen and put it in with another pen? If so who? Should I give the mother hen some standard babies if I take the peep away? Idk what to do
