    My hen pecked all the shell off an egg. The chicks beak is out and it is peeping. What should i do? Why would momma hen do this?

    I have feed hanging in the coop right next to the laying boxes as well as oyster shell available. Idk what else to do. I think from now on I will just incubate and brood the eggs myself.

    Very. Very Very. She pecks me when I go out to check. And took on the turkey hen the other day.

    I wonder if at night my rooster is wreaking havoc then. Maybe my other half has a game cam I can borrow for the coop for a bit to see what is going on.

    Planning on having the chick. We have been finding dead chicks under momma hen. We have a hen with one chick already. But have found 5 mostly developed dead chicks with no shells.

    I have the "egg" wrapped in damp paper towels and in the incubator at 37.5 C.
