I had 2 broodie hens - 1 hatched 2 chicks and the other hatched 1 chicks. Then hen that had 1 chick started out with 6 eggs. She ate 4 eggs or some other hen did. The other hen started with 5 and 3 eggs were not viable. Yesterday I seen the momma's fighting and ran out to see what was going on and found 1 chick dead in the chicken run. All of our chickens are/were together. After finding the first chick we seperated the momma's and the 2 chicks to a seperate room and covered run in with the big run so they are all together so to speak. I looked out there a little while ago and seen the momma's all puffed out and so I ran out there only to find another chick laying there dead. I have no idea what happened to either chick. So I removed one hen and now she is going crazy. What do I do with her. Any help is greatly appreciated.
