So my first time broody hatched a chick yesterday (on Mother’s Day!) and I noticed that when she is interacting with the chick it looks like she nibbles a bit on its beak. Doesn’t look like “biting”, but wasn’t sure if this was normal. For those that have done this before, is this just curiosity or grooming, or something I should be worried about?
