This afternoon 3 of my older chicks were wanting the same thing, but that broody wouldn't have any of it, and the poor little 3 or 4 day old chicks were terrified. Usually I'd have them loose with the flock by now but it's obvious the chicks and mama want no part of this when I open the door and watch.
I may have to start naming them to make these conversations intelligible. They're individuals to me, but I think of them as things like, BA mama, good mama, injured mama (even though she has recovered,) jerkface, sweetie, the pretty pullet, etc.
