All was going smoothly with hatching until my broody hen decided to attack one of the chicks hatching, she managed to get everything a little bloody and pull its leg out of the shell (there’s only one other egg under her that hasn’t pipped yet) that was a few hours ago, and since then have brought it inside on a heat pad keeping everything from drying out with moist paper towels, the chick has managed to break free a bit more since then. I’m hoping for the best but am definitely stressed. I’m wondering if there’s any more I can do, or if I’m even doing this correctly? The chick has been opening eyes and yawning
