uktitan 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 ive had that happen, not with a shamo though..I had two broodies at the same time, a Brahma and a Pekin Well To cut a long story short, one of the Brahma chicks got to close to Honey (the pekin) and she went ballistic and killed it, then she Gave Ahma (my Brahma what for, for good measure) Poor Ahma she only had 2 chicks. its sad but i think all mother hens are very protective and will kill Rival chicks.
