Dreading checking on the hatching chick today

[Chickiemom25]

I got 2 fertile eggs for my broody americauna........ one hatched yesterday and the chick died.. looked like the other was hatching this morning before i left.. If it dies, what will my hen most likely do? Keep sitting indefinately? will her broodiness be broken? I got the eggs to break her of the broodiness, do I need to get more?

You'll have to wait and see. She may snap out of it should both chicks die, but she may not. I am sorry for your loss. I hope the second one makes it.

Good luck.
