3 of my hens have just hatched a couple chicks each. I have moved them into a smaller coupe about 2 weeks prior to hatching as my main coupe is not suitable for baby chicks. Now one of the hens is attacking one specific chick (I suspect it is male but not comfirmed). Does anyone know why this might happen? I thought overcrouded but she is only pecking at one specific chick. I also found a baby chick behind the nesting boxes with a bloody head which I thought was a from hatching but now I'm not sure as I think that one is also male. Would she just be killing off the male chicks?
