Eggs are not due to hatch untill tomorrow one hatched yesterday under my broody. she will not stay on the chick who is lethargic still moves and chirps, do I need to take it away and hand raise it? I am going to try and feed sugar water later when hubby gets up.
 
If the hen is moving off the chick then I would probably take it away and put it under a heat lamp. The hen may simply "cull" it through neglect it if it doesn't seem strong. Also, if she is leaving the nest to get away from the chick, then the other eggs will get cold and die, too.
 
I agree with jester. Pull the chick and get it under a lamp. I would put the eggs in a bator or hatcher too.
