I too had a couple of chicks hatch. Unfortunately, I found two of them dead and another with injuries. I'm not sure if this one could live, it is in my lap at the moment while I'm heating a brooder for it. There are a couple more eggs, so I'll watch those in case they hatch. I feel terrible about the others. I don't have a separate area to keep the broody hen and eggs in, otherwise I would have. I wanted to let them set and see if anything happened. I guess part of me didn't really think anything really would hatch. This one has its "scalp" partly torn off from being pecked. Any chance that could heal or grow back?
