Hen Stepped on Egg Due to Hatch in 3 Days

[nonseq]

And this is my fault.

I tried to move her to her own coop and I shouldn't have. In her panic she stepped on one egg. The shell is broken and I see a chick moving around in there. I stuck it in the incubator. I'm thinking it doesn't have much of a chance. What do you think?

I have another question. She still has 4 eggs in the nest in the coop amongst the main population. I can't figure out a way to give her her own space in there, and she's on the second floor of the coop. With a steep ramp. Any suggestions?

I'm going to answer myself. lol

Chickenardo went back on her nest. I'm going to let her hatch her chicks and see what happens. I have her little coop set up and after the eggs hatch and if they survive, I will move them to that coop.

I put the broken egg in the incubator under a damp paper towel, and I guess I'll just see what happens.

What else can I do?

Learning curve is steeper than I thought.
