HEN IS KILLING CHICKS!!!!! HELP ME

[Fussy8]

OK so I had 9 eggs under my broody hen and 3 were killed. So I moved her to the garage in a dog kennel and monitored her from there. Saturday a chick hatched but was formed wrong (organs were falling out it's vent). She ate what came out of the chick that was left behind (is that normal?). Today I went out to look for some babies (I check every hour or so so if she is killing them I can take them) and there was a shell but no baby or body. I looked around the garage and found nothing.... I'm thinking she is killing them and I don't know what to do! Can I take them at this age and put them in an incubator? Please help me! They should be hatching soon and I don't want to lose anymore!!!!!

If they were mine, I would put the eggs in an incubator and never used this hen as a broody again. Good luck.

Thats what I was thinking but can I put them in there at this age? They should be hatching within the next 3 days or so

I would move them sooner than later and I agree never use her again. Good luck.

You really have nothing to lose. If you move them (and I hope nothing bad happens) maybe it won't work, but if you leave them she's going to kill them. Moving them is the best option.
