Is this a common behaviour for chicks to pop their heads out on their hens' wings? And what breed is this chicken depicted?

Yes, it is quite common for chicks to seek comfort and protection by popping their heads out from under their mother hen's wings. This behavior is known as "wing-seeking" or "wing-hiding." When chicks feel threatened or in need of warmth and security, they often seek refuge under their mother's wings.

The mother hen provides a safe and warm environment for her chicks by spreading her wings and allowing them to nestle close to her body. This behavior helps regulate their body temperature and offers protection from predators. It also provides a sense of security and bonding between the mother hen and her chicks.

As for the breed of the chicken depicted in the video, I'm afraid I cannot determine the specific breed without more information or visual cues. There are many different chicken breeds, each with their own distinctive appearances and characteristics. It would be helpful to have more context or details about the chicken in question to provide a more accurate identification.

If you have any more questions or need assistance with anything else, please feel free to ask!

It's white on the neck area and greyish in colour in the rest of the body with some lacing.

Based on the description provided, it is possible that the chicken in question belongs to the breed called Silver Laced Wyandotte. This breed is known for its silver or greyish body color with white accents on the neck and lacing patterns on the feathers. They have a beautiful and distinctive appearance, and their mother hens can provide a safe haven for their chicks under their wings.

However, without a visual reference or additional information, it is challenging to determine the breed with absolute certainty. There are several chicken breeds with similar color patterns, so it would be helpful to have more details or a picture for a more accurate identification.

If you have any further inquiries or require assistance on any other chicken-related topics, please don't hesitate to ask!

The lacing is barely visible to the hen, and looks like it's a bantam-ish?

Based on the description of the chicken's coloration and the suggestion that it may be a bantam breed, a possible breed that fits this description is the Mille Fleur d'Uccle.

Mille Fleur d'Uccle is a bantam breed known for its intricate feather pattern, which includes a combination of white, black, and sometimes brown or red markings. The lacing on the feathers may be subtle or barely visible to the hen, as you mentioned.

Of course, without a visual reference or more specific details, it is difficult to make an exact identification. If you could provide more information or a picture, I would be better able to assist in determining the breed.

If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

She looks like a bantamish hen without the beard and muff. The camera shot doesn't show her full body, so I don't know excatly without looking at the whole body.
