Help! - My chick just wont leave me alone

[Hattrem]

So, i have this approximately 4 day old chicken hatchling that lost it's siblings in unfortunate circumstance, i am not new to birds but i am new to chicks and hatchlings like this one, the problem is that it got very attached to me, leaving her (i think it's a gurl) for a moment would cause an outrage that could last hours, i tried a mirror and a stuffed animal but she just wont leave me alone, i adore her but mommas need some time alone, yk?

And thank you

Lone chicks will imprint on humans. Chickens need their flock and without others you become the flock. Unfortunately there isn’t a way to really stop it other than getting more chicks for her to integrate with. Eventually when it gets older it may stop being as clingy, but without others you will still be the flock.

And this is what happens when poultry imprint on humans. It generally improves when they discover that they are birds.
