Hi,
I have a broody hen who had 2 chicks this week. Every time we put our hand in the coop, not near babies she bites. She will not allow us to fill the water bowl or fed dish.
We want to socialize the chicks with us, however mom refuses to allow it.
I understand mom is being protective.
At what point will she likely want to leave the coop?
Any advice?
