My egg bound hen passed

I am going to miss my sassy little Chelsea.

Oh Red, I'm sorry.

Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts. I'm glad she isn't suffering anymore. It's always the favorites that have to go soon, it seems.
 
Hatch update: Looks like half of the eggs in the incubator died, but I still have a couple that are alive. I had given three eggs to a broody a few days ago, as she's been sitting on duds. She abandoned them, I gave them to a hen with chicks, another hen came in and kicked them out of the nest and cracked to eggs. Went to check those this morning and found one broken egg with a live, cold chick shrink wrapped inside. Grabbed that egg, moistened it and stuck it in the bator. One other egg was alive and had pipped internally; I could feel it beating against the shell kind of frantically. Knocked a tiny hole into the big end where the air sac was and put it in the bator, as well. I'm hoping I saved these chicks.
