Hen won't accept her chick

[Chickadee00]

Hello, I'm very worried right now, my cochin hen won't accept her own chick, it's her Own, not a foreign one, she keeps pecking it on the head when it comes too close to her face, and now I don't know what to do. Raise the chick alone without the mum with a heat lamp? I don't know how to do that since I always had the mother hen taking care of the chicks. I also got another mama with 7 day old chicks, could I try to give the new one to her? Is there any way to make the real mom accept the chick? I'm heartbroken, I never thought my cochin hen would do this

Does mom have any other chicks?

No, another one should hatch today, it's her first time having chicks..

If she is hurting her chicks, take them away. Do you have brooder supplies?

I definitely will if she keeps pecking it, I won't wait for her to draw blood.. I have a plastic box where I could put it in and will buy a heat lamp if it's necessary
