Surely this can’t be normal?

In the Brooder

So recently 2 of my hens both around 1 year old have decided they are a mother hen and chick! It started with my Pekin getting broody, I was constantly lifting eggs as soon as they were laid and lifting her outside. Then one morning I found the bigger hen sitting on the Pekin in the nest box, but I just thought the Pekin was in the way and she just decided to sit on top of her to lay an egg. However it is now everyday I find them this way, I lift them both outside but they then sit in the grass…again the big hen on top of the Pekin, and when I lift her off, the Pekin pushes back under the other one and they just sit like that all day. Should I be worried?

It is cute, and sometimes I just laugh at the way I find the 2 them. The Pekin is small but not chick small...surely it cant be comfortable having a 'chick' that big trying to sit under you :lol:
