I have a first time broody hen which was sitting on several fertile eggs I put under her.
Yesterday was the day 21 and I found 1 died chick under her. The chick had opened around the top part of the shell but the rest of her body was still in a crashed shell.
I wondered if the hen stepped on the chick while she was hatching? Can that be possible?
She is still brooding now but I don't know if I sould try to get her some fertile eggs again.
Any suggestion? Or I should just wait until she gives up ?
