I’ve recently posted a thread where one of my chicks that was born in June had a wound on her head after being pecked at. She is getting me better now, but We weren’t sure who did it. After observing them for a bit, I noticed that the mother of the chicks was pecking at the other chicks a bit aggressively in their back, almost like they are in her way and bothering her. I don’t understand why she is behaving like this, when just a week ago she was caring for them like normal. The chicks want to be with their mom, but the mom doesn’t want to be with them I guess? I’ve also noticed that the mom has stopped making her “mother noises” and has began to make some other noises I haven’t heard from her before since she was born last year. Is there anything that I can do to help the chicks ease back from wanting to be with their mom all the time? Or why the mom is acting like this?
