What should we do?
Until this morning we had 14 eggs incubating under a broody hen. She is in a dog cage in the hen house so nobody else can get in.
This morning I checked her eggs while she went out to feed and found 13 eggs and one broken shell - with blood veins clearly on the surface. No body though.
Has she become cannibalistic? Will she eat the babies as they begin to hatch? What should we do!!!

She most likely accidentally broke the egg and chickens do what they do-she ate it
