I would, my rooster has killed 2 chicks this spring. He is a new roo and he is still very young and inexperienced but now he is doing a lot better he doesn't kill the chicks anymore.

Definitely will seperate him in the run that I talked about...if the hens can do well with the other hens...hope all goes smoothly...
 
Candled today, 6 are developing and 5 are not. Out of the five, 4 were “new” and I just put them in yesterday, so I will candle them again 4 days from now. We have a few at day 12, I can start to see the chick fill up the egg! And the third picture is one on day 5...

Unfortunately, today one egg broke... :( It was on day 7 and it was the fertile one in the picture on my last post. The eggs are really dirty. I moved her out for now to let her move around. And then I cleaned off the yolk on some of the eggs. There are some that are really dirty. Not sure if I should wash them or leave them. I also have moved the 5 eggs on day 14 into my incubator (I don’t want those to break). And the other 5 that are left, I moved to a different nest right next to her original nest. I then switched the hay out and blocked off her original nest.

should I clean off the eggs? If so, with water, or just wipe it off slightly? I have already wiped off the eggs slightly....the egg made it really sticky, and the humidity under her went pretty high. Hoping all goes well... :(
