Is it normal for hens to help each other groom? I have a RIR hen that makes me nervous by pecking at her flock mates tail feathers when they are wet (after having a bath). And today I caught her helping another hen groom her (dry but messy feathers). I don't think its mean spirited (she's buddies with the hen that she was helping today), but I am afraid she might unintentionally injure one of her friends.
