Ok. I'll do that. Yeah, she doesn't have any more eggs so I'll get her up!

Perfect..It will switch her from setting to raising Chicks..

Is there any chance that she wont know the chick died and will look for it?
Also this is her first time broody.

She knows and won't look. They live for the living..

Clean the nest - remove all soiled bedding and replace with clean/dry to cut down on the bacterial level.

Yes, I'm planning to do that. I should have done it immediately, if I had this probably wouldn't have happened. I was just too lazy and didn't think it mattered.

Well I only remove the shells and have no issues. I've had a couple of Chicks not make it the first 24 hours and just figure the chick wasn't right.

Don't blame yourself. Use this as a learning experience. Next time you will know better. We learn through our mistakes.
