Sometimes chicks don't do well in my coop. Many get monkey stomped when broodies fight over them, or when mommas fight to "protect" their area, although many also live and thrive. This one was definitely monkey stomped. I feel awful. We had the brooder set up in the kitchen but I didn't want to just have the one and was hoping momma would protect her out in the coop.

Oh dang all!!!!



Sadly... no way to know until afterwards. (So don't blame yourself) I would have thought that since she is the TFH, she would have actually protected the little hatchling .
