I had 2 hens sitting on 4 eggs each. 2 babies hatched the rest were dead in the shell. Each hen had 1 baby to hatch. 2 of the babies weren't fully developed the rest were developed but didn't hatch. Any Ideas. On hen it was her 1st clutch the other it was her 4 th clutch.

Type of bedding. Disturbances and the hen getting off the nest during the night. Too little or too much humidity. A little more info please. There could be several causes.

I used pine bedding. I noticed Sunshine wasn't as devoted to her eggs.
