Granny's gone and done it again

Finally got a picture of my broody hen that hatched my Olive Egger Sex Link chick, naturally it's a roo.

I have literally had to force this hen off the nest to teach this chick to eat. Unfortunately she is a first timer & it took 3 sets of eggs before you finally got a fertile egg out of the deal. The problem is she doesn't want to leave the nest with it. I removed her & the chick today & put them down on the coop floor. She still just wanted to sit on the chick & not teach it anything. Have been really disappointed with the broodies I've had this year.
 
Kids are fine. They’re getting better at life and loss.
I don't know if that is good or bad hun. You want them to know about life on the farm & part of it is death. It just seems like you have had way more than your fair share of it :hit
