I have 3 hens with chicks....they fight and somehow I have had 4 baby chicks die. What is going on here?
 
They have that pecking order problem. I was always afraid of that. I would keep each hen seperate when she is sitting on her eggs to hatch. You will need to seperate them asap or lose more. Sorry about your loss.
