    My broody hen is killing its new hatched chicks

    Ended Hatching Fowl Photo Contest—16th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    I had to help this guy hatch and clicked him in my hand not knowing the rules. So I blurred out my hand from the original photo.

    Ended Hatching Fowl Photo Contest—16th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    The actual image had two baby chicks and a heavily pipped egg within the frame, but wasn't sure whether I should include them. So I cropped just the guy who got out a few seconds earlier.
