I had a broody hen hatch 2 chicks with one still pipping. I was going to separate them from the rest of the flock once the last one hatched but before I could one of the chicks got attacked by the flock. She hatched this morning and when I found her this afternoon she was in the middle of the run with bloody eyes. I can't tell if she even still has eyes...:-( I separated mama and the 2 chicks and egg from the rest of the flock, put the injured chick under her mama. Would it be more humane to put her out of her misery or should I wait and see if she can recover?
