Well, if she has already killed 2 of the chicks that hatched, she will kill this one too. Remove it if you want it to live!

 

[JMotuzick]

Should I put it in the brooder box with the hot plate? Or just remove her and let it hatch in its own?

 

[JMotuzick]

She is still sitting on it/the other

Also hot here most are panting

I'm getting close now to my hatch date. I will start lock-down on Friday. They are due to hatch on the 3rd. More NN's!

May I ask why? Is it personality reasons? I had very high hopes as so many people rave about thier Australorps but I just can't seem to feel the love (yet?)

I hated my Australorps at first, they were mean to the other birds, and loud, and not that friendly but now they're they freeze and squat when I approach so I can pick them up which my Orpingtons don't even do every time anymore and I like that they talk back. They are still mean to the others though but mostly just around food/treats. They are major food hogs LOL

Yes, they sure don't show up late to dinner, for sure. They always have to have first dibb's on the food. The other's can have whatever's left.
