Hens feed their hatchlings by first pecking at food and then calling the chicks to eat. They often scratch the ground to uncover seeds and insects, demonstrating for the chicks what to eat. Additionally, mother hens usually consume food and then regurgitate it for their chicks, providing them with easily digestible nourishment. This behavior helps the chicks learn what to eat and ensures they get the nutrients they need to grow.
