x2ColesCreek please think about what you are typing before you type it. Allowing the bird to attack her first few hatches is by far the most terrible and outrageous thing anyone can do. No, the bird will not stop doing it she will continue until the chicks are dead and then possibly cannibalize them. Any sane and reputable breeder will not breed a bird who attacks her young even if they plan on pulling the chicks. As chooks4life clearly stated, "faults in reproductive behaviors tend to be bred on".
