Hey! I have a broody Blue Cochin hen (Lily) who hatched out a chick this morning.
She is staying with it, and for the most part does good, but to get it back under her she continuously pecks on its head. I don't think it is too hard, but it certainly looks like it would hurt. Also, she doesn't raise her breast up to let it get back under her like our Buff Orpington does with her chicks.
Is this normal? Thanks in advance!
