If the hen is out of the nest, I would remove the broken egg. If she is in the nest and you try to remove it, she could panic and break more.

I wait until I feed out fruit and veg, then when I see the hen out, I race in the aviary and check the box. Maybe yours will be too busy eating to. :) But most of my breeders are aviary bred. Jasper, who is hand reared, goes into the nest when I enter the aviary. Not sure how she is going to react when/if she has bubs.

Hi,
I would take the broken one out. As Pinkdevil says...feed a little fruit and veg...the hen should come out for a few mins to feed and to do her business....good luck...you will be fine! :)
