Is she driving it away or what? I have one that will peck them to keep them under her sometimes. And I've seen them drive one away for no apparent reason. Let things be and watch her a good while. You might have to take that chick away but I hope not. If she's not actually hurting it and is allowing it to stay with her, probably things will be fine.

I just relized that she is pecking it to tell it to stay near. Thanks guys!
