Hello my chicks are starting to hatch but the mum is pecking them. I have posted a video. I am not sure if she is just doing it so the chick will go back into the nest or something I should be worried about. My friend just informed me that her hens never do this, so now I am freaking out! Is this normal behaviour? My first hatch and first post here. Thanks in advance :)

Don't worry she is no longer doing it after the second has hatched. I guess she was just telling the first chick to get back under and has started to figure out how to be a good mummy ;)
