My hen was sitting on 5 eggs this morning. one hatched and looked very active but a couple hours later it was in the grit box dead with it's leg broken in half! There is another egg currently hatching but one of the adults keep pushing it out of the nest into the grit box. I don't want it to die too, do I take it out and put it in an incubator? (The one I have is not good at all)

Are the other hens bothering these chicks? Generally you have to remove all other birds or section off hen and babies as many times other hens will try to kill babies.

If the momma hen is doing this, you will need to remove the babies completely and brood them yourself.
 
I only have the one hen and one rooster. I'll get my brooder ready and put the chicks in it as soon as they hatch or should I do it now??
