I have a hen with one chick about 2 weeks old, its has blood pecks on it from the mother as she also has blood around her beak, she has done similiar before just the previous chick was much older about 3.5 weeks old.

I have taken the mother out and tried fostering the chick to another nest with chicks same age, but after awhile a could her alot of churping like it was being attacked,

(other hen must see the blood on it) watched for awhile but took it out of that nest and now have left with the father to look after, he looked after the last chick but was older and put on the floor in a container whereas this one is only just feathering up.....

 

Did I do the right thing or ??????????????????

Thanks

Give the father a chance to raise the chick. Many a father has successfully raised chicks from 2 weeks of age

i agree with kaz leave chick in nest and let daddo his thing i had a cock raise seven pet types when mum fly out of cage one littlest was one week old he did great 3 were foster chicks at 3 weeks rest were as i said one week up
