Hi. My mom has a hen which laid 15 eggs about 3 weeks ago (we think). 2 eggs hatched yesterday and they are healthy looking chicks. Another 2 chicks were found dead this morning in the nest. There are still 11 eggs remaining and the hen is still sitting on the nest periodically (I'm in the southern hemisphere so it's actually very cold here at the moment).
Should my mom remove the dead chicks? And how do we know if the remaining eggs are still viable.
