Yeah. She didnt peck at it. It just got out from under her (like they do) and the other hens started pecking it. She fidnt protect it. They may be a little depressed but I'm going to do it to my mama. Btw, Plum, the hen whose chick got killed now has 2 babies that she has been a good momma to so far. More are hatching. But she is alone. So she can do her normal thing without worrying about her chicks getting killed.Did the broody hen take to the chicks the first time, but then just didn’t protect them? Or did she not take to them? Will they be upset if you get rid of her “babies” after they’ve done their job raising them a bit?
