Hens stepping on and killing chicks

[Zizix123]

I have 7 eggs left and one was in the process of hatching and she was stepping on it chicks creeping but there is blood on the egg I have another that has just piped. She has killed 4 chivkes by standing on them 3 hatched and doing well but I had to move eggs out of the way each time. I do not have an incubator but do have a plastic container and heating pad there are viable chicks in the eggs that havent hatched yet and I don't want any more losses because she stepped on them.

Yes, if she is this uncareful with the eggs she may not be broody enough to raise them herself. I would prepare to get a brooder set up for chicks Incase you have to do he chick raising and quickly get an incubator for the eggs
