so my broody hen sat on 2 eggs for a month. the first egg hatched on time but she was tryign to eat the egg off the chick but i took her out before the chick died. we chaulked it up to her trying to help the chick hatch. so today before i left for work i checked on the last one, she had pipped last night and was peeing away in the shell when i went to work at 630. i got home for break at 945 and wen to check and my hen had a blood vein hanging from her mouth! i pulled her off the nest and the last chick was laying lifeless on the nest :-( the momma had eaten the egg off of the chick completly and ther was no shell to be found. im so upset that she killed the chick. is there anything i could do different next time besides using an incubator o anther hen?
