They have left dead chicks at the nest site here. I take them out as soon as I'm certain they're dead.I checked Astrid when I came home to get Fuji to take her to the vet.
There is a blue shell and membrane under her. I didn't see the chick or the other 3 eggs. I don't want to disturb her too much.
If the chick dies, will she remove it from the nest?
