i looked under my broody hen today and saw that one chick was hatched and another egg has a hole in it. the starter food is out but I am not sure how long it should take before the chick starts to eat. also, i am not sure if the chick will be safe sitting with other eggs all tucked up under her. yesterday she had a dead chick under her. also, should i try to help break the other egg open or just let it be. kate
