I can't see any other way. Half the shell is there, but no baby anywhere at all. She only had 1 other egg so I took it and put it in the incubator. Very sad..
Broody ate her baby :(

Is the hen in a closed cage\pen? Is there any other way it could have been another animal? I'm sorry for your loss.

It could be that the chick died naturally?

Would the broody have eaten her if she died naturally though?

I had wire over the front of her box but she and her sister were both sitting on same nest. One of the 2 of them must have done it. Thanks.

Make sure to search through the bedding. Baby could have fallen out and gotten trampled/suffocated.
