I need to get hatching off my mind.

I dreamed last night that I was at a hatching contest. Everyone was hatching Silkie eggs and it was set up like a convention hall. There were incubators everywhere and little kiosk stalls selling all kinds of thrift stuff. And every here and there there were hatching eggs for sale. Five at this stall, a dozen there. I spent most of the dream trying to find a vendor who had something other than Silkie eggs.

My 3 silkies, 2 hens and a rooster are now 9 months old and have lived together for all 9 months. One hen (Creamcicle) hatched an egg about 2 weeks ago and the other hens (snow white) had an egg hatch but did not make it. Now Creamcicle is being very aggressive toward Snow White, pecking her in the head everytime Snow White moves, she is very scared, hides behind me when I am in the coop and is shaking. What should I do? Should I remove Creamcicle and the chick?

I must confess I can't remember when I last hatched anything. I had 2 broody hen hatches early last year and since then, with the move and then the big move I couldn't hatch more. If I had more space here...

Hey everyone I seem to have a dalema, Ok so my 3 chicks out of 5 hatched. They were panting in the incubator. They had been in there a day...we rigged up a baby spoon so they could drink water...which worked well. Anyways so my humidity went into the high 70's and 2 eggs have not hatched yet (they are due today) I figured since the humidity was so high we could put a towel over the incubator reach in grab the 3 chicks move em to the brooder with out harming the other 2. Humidity didn't drop much. The 3 new chicks however had done their first poops in the incubator and we couldn't clean it up. What do I do? Will this get the new ones sick?
