the mother is semi wild and had 13 other babies with her. I thought I was helping,but I guess not...the last chick is very vocal but wont move much. Is there anything I can do?
I had three and two passed away in the night, theres one left, but I think he may be sick too, what do I do!!
there symtoms before they died where lethargic, not drinking , not moving and I can hear the stones in its gizzard crunching.
thank you for all your help!! the egg had a personal funeral in a very deep and far away place, this was my first time experiencing a broody hen and I will hopefully get fertile eggs next spring if she decides to go broody again.
What would happen if I simply took the egg away? no chick.((feed store just stopped selling chicks...))
P.s. She only sat on one egg? would I just need one chick?
My Production road island red has been sitting on an egg for about a month now and nothing has happened yet....((not sher what too do..))
-Yes, this is her first egg she's been broody on
-We have wild roosters in our yard, so I think one of them is the daddy
-No, I have no idea what to look...

it could be she still in shock from the experience but it could also be that her air way was damaged in the attack. I suggest keeping an eye on her till she starts to feel beter.
