I have a hen who is incubating eggs. Yesterday, I found an egg at the edge of the hen. I looked at it and found that the baby chicks head was sticking out with it's top beak GONE! It's nose is bloody. Recently, I have been finding dead baby chicks like if they have been beaten and there intestines gone too. I am starting to think it is this hen when is making this chaos.
Anyway, the chick was in the egg, I believe it was hatching and the hen attacked it. I took the eggshell away carefully without damaging the membrane. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to assist this poor little thing. What do I need to give it with it's broken beak. The bottom beak also seems like it is going to fall of too. Any advise would help.
