    Broody Hen that killed chicks, do we try again?

    We had a broody hen but she killed one of the chicks after hatching. We removed the rest of the eggs and transferred to the incubator but didn’t have much luck. She’s still super broody - can I give her another chance to hatch/mother a clutch of eggs? Or is it once a killer always a killer? Help!

    Broody killing other chicks - how do I tell them apart??

    I have a Cuckoo Maran and a Buff Orpington that both hatched chicks. Each one had at least two, and there were six altogether. The problem is, I housed them in a small pen, and one of the hens killed a chick this morning. I have another pen set up, but I can't figure out which chicks belong to...
