I bought 4 day old chicks for my broody bantam barred rock to raise. She’s been broody for about a week and has been consistently broody in the past. I gave the chicks to the mom today about noon so I could supervise. She’s letting them sit under her but she screeches and pecks at them if she sees them out, especially in front of her. She’s talking to them just a little bit and seems to like the peeping. I’m worried about her hurting them. Should I take them away and try again tonight? Or is she probably not going to accept them? I really would rather not brood them myself but I will if I have to.
