    Momma left the eggs

    My brooder layed on her eggs until 3 hatched. One was either attempting to hatch and died or was squashed. She left the eggs and took her chicks off. Is this usual? We heard peeping from one of the remaining 6 eggs so moved them to another brooder and one hatched over night.
