Well i learned my lesson.

At first I didn't take GrandmaBird's advice because I thought they would be fine. I feel horrible for not listening to you sooner instead of taking action.

This morning I found 1 chick pecked to death and 2 injured. I took them all out. Sometimes mommy isnt the best mommy.

So sorry about your loss...but you can just try again as they will start laying eggs again really soon. My female is sitting now on 9 eggs but she is not sitting tight...I will watch her for a week or so, this gives her time to rest from laying, then decide if I will leave the eggs or switch out to ones I know are duds. I just do not really want any more chicks to take care of right now maybe in the spring...its hard to decide. I feel bad taking the eggs and cooking them for her to eat but then again just tossing them is the same thing but no one gets any good from them if they get tossed. ah well the circle of life goes on...
Hope the surviving chicks do okay...keep us posted. and good luck.

I have zero experience w buttons as I have Cots and have yet to hatch any (my first hatch my Son was "helping" and adj. the temp. to 113 degrees) but thinking maybe your hen was a bit overwhelmed with so many little ones.
