One of my broody hens hatched out two chicks 4 days ago. One of the remaining eggs has a chick in it....I can see it swimming around when I candle. Mama Hen has now abandoned the egg and ignores it as she hangs with her little babes. Feeling sick about the possibly viable chick die inside its' egg, I have tucked it into my sports bra. It's still moving around. I have the airsac facing down so it can start first pip easily. BUT I am wondering about it mess and if it will happen before I have to return to work in a day and a half....Anybody experienced this?
I would keep it airsack up!!
