Got home to one dead hatchling. One injured. Three eggs left under mom.
A different chick hatched two weeks ago and she has been a great mom. I wasn't at home today and was expecting hatch day tomorrow.
My questions are 1) is there anything I can do do save this chick?
2) did momma do this because she already has a two week old and she felt she needed to protect it?
3) should I just remove the other hatching eggs as soon as I see a pip in the egg?
I was hoping she would raise them all together. Please help.
Thanks.
