How do you know if a hen has rejected her chick?

- The chick is not being brooded.

- The chick is being picked on or attacked by the hen.

- The chick is cold to the touch.

- The chick is not eating or drinking.

- The chick's belly is swollen.

- The hen is not making any noises or displaying any signs of affection towards the chick.

- The chick's feathers are ruffled and the chick appears stressed.

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to separate the chick from the hen and monitor its condition. You may need to provide the chick with food, water, and warmth. If the chick's condition does not improve, you should take it to a veterinarian.
