My broody hen has cracked one of the eggs she is sitting on. She has not broken the membrane yet. It is around day 19 of incubation. What should I do? She has dumped her water and gotten the wood shaving wet.
 
Its more than a crack. The shell is gone and the membrane is exposed. Any other suggestions? When I looked at it this morning, I could see the chick and it was moving a little.
 
Just went to get the egg to try it. It had hatched and was dead. Thanks for trying to help.
:(
 
Bummer. Sorry.
I have 3 broody hens now. One of the nests hatched this morning and I found a dead chick in the nest. It happens. Survival of the fittest.
 
She has 6 more to hatch. Hopefully I have better luck with them. Thanks again for the help.
