In the Brooder
I have chicks that were hatched out under a mama hen 5 weeks ago. Mama is a 1 year old Wheaten Maran. She was a really good mama up until yesterday when I noticed that she has started chasing the chicks and pecking at them. There are 4 of them and she chases all of them. She has started laying eggs again this week so I guess she’s just tired of being a mom and wants to get back to normal? Will the chicks be ok with her in the coop? I don’t think she’s really trying to hurt them. I just think she’s tired of them trying to get under her all the time.
