I meed help. Our hen has been broody for over 3 weeks. So we went to the local Feed Store got six chicks they are a about a week old today but very small, we removed her from her box and put her in a private one coop. As she was getting ready to fall asleep night had just hit we took the six chicks and introduce them we got them all tucked underneath her. At about midnight I heard the chicks chirping she had moved leaving them in the cold. When I tried to reintroduce them she picked out one so I remove the chicks. This morning I took the chicks outside I had already moved her out of the private pin. When she heard the chicks she came over to them making a low clucking sound, she wanted back in. She has been in the coop with them all day, lays next to them but won't let them actually near her all the way. She doesn't try to hurt them but the chicks I think are scared of her they stay together in the corner of the coop and She lays about 6in from them and just follows them around. What should I do?
