2J, chicken question:)
I've got a hen that keeps killing chicks. She's in a dog crate now, she's killed her last one. I'm getting up the will power to chop her head off. She doesn't lay eggs, she's just mean, she's got to go.
My question is, I had a hen sitting on a nest, I didn't realize they were hatching. Well this serial killer chicken got in there and killed one that had hatched and the momma is off the nest, but eggs are still hatching. Will she get back on them? or do I need to put them in the incubator? How long should I wait to see if she will get back on them?

I agree with you about the mean chicken...off with it's head. Let me know how she tastes.
I don't know about the other question...you really should sign up to the backyardchickens.com bulletin board! There are real experts on there...can answer any question!
Did you hear what my chicken did to me? I had her on my lap and she jumped off and flapped, her wing scratched a rather big abrasion on my cornea! Happened about 4 hours ago. Got a patch on my eye and a doc appt in the morning to have it rechecked.
Sigh...if it ain't one thing, tis another.
