I need some help please.....It seems that somthing has been killing my chicks or the other chickens are eating the eggs while moms are sitting I have found a dead chick on 2 times and NO egg shell. So i took the eggs from the moms and they all seem to be at differant stages. I do know that some are due to hatch this weekend. My question is how can I tell what ones are due this weekend . Some have a large air cell and I cant see any veins. Those I put in seprate bator the others have veins and a not so large air cell. Does this sound about right? Please let me know asap. I even heard an egg or 2 chirpping but there are so many I cant figure out which one it is! Thanks so Much Cristina
