PLEASE HELP

[1grandma]

I bought 4 three week old chicks. They are almost all feathered out and last week I placed them in a separate fenced in area inside my coop to keep them protected from my adult flock of mixed breeds. I have a sweet Cochin who has been constantly pacing around their fence for over a week! Like she's safe guarding them. I haven't seen her out in the run for food or water although she seems healthy. She doesn't even come out for their morning treat of fresh greens. I'm worried and would appreciate any advice you can give me.

It could mean a couple of things, maybe she's the least dominent and wants to join up, or maybe she really wants a beakful of feathers. Just cause she's sweet to you doesn't mean she,ll be sweet to them.
