we have our mama hen in with the baby chicks now a week old. we have them seperated in the garage. but i have notices that whenever i put in food in a container she scratches it over right away, same with water. also when she is scratching she sometimes kicks the baby chicks. i am not sure this is good/ normal behaviour or not, but i am worried about the babies. any reason as to why she is doing this? thanks!
