Attachment Issues?

[temppora]

Hello there!! I recently got my first ever chick, and she is about 6 weeks old.. She is the only chicken that I have and most likely will have right now..
I have noticed that whenever I put her back in single coop, she starts to sound distressed, and tries to hop out and follow me..
She paces and yells at me until I come in and sit with her.. This is the only time she is truly content..
When I try to put her back, she will not leave my arms, and will try to crawl her way back up me..

Does my chick have attachment issues? I do not know why she is acting like this..
All I know is that she did have siblings, but they all couldn’t stay together, so I got her.. They only had their mother for a week or two as well..

Please help!! She is the sweetest thing, and I do not want her to get overly stressed out!! I cannot be with her all day due to school and studies..
Thank you so much!!

Chickens live in flocks. She is lonely and needs company. Could you find a friend about the same age for her?

Yep, get another one or ten.

Yep, she is lonely and needs company. Like CJsCoop said, they live in flocks, and need others to be around her.

You should at least have a pair. Chickens live in flocks and don’t like to be alone.
