Broody

[innourish]

My Broody hatched one out of six eggs, broke one egg resulting in a mess for the other five, kicked one out, and pooped in her nest. I gave her hatched to the other mother who was hatching successfully, cleaned the eggs (probably shouldn't have?) then cleaned her nest and put in fresh hay. Now three or four days later nothing. She's a bit depressed and getting skinny. What to do?

Have You candled the eggs at all? You want to break her broodiness if the eggs aren't viable, being broody is hard on a hen
