Hi there! So for awhile now my silkie hen has been sitting on her eggs, and we finally decided to just let her attempt to hatch them. Then today when I went out to feed the chicks we saw 2 chicks underneath her. However, we separated her from the other chickens so that they wouldn't harm the eggs, though she layed them in a place where it was hard for us to reach. Now we do not know whether to move the chicks under a heat lamp, leave them there, or move them and the remaining eggs to a location where we can reach them. Any advice??
 
Is she taking care of the chicks? If so, I'd just leave them with her and see what else hatches. When she's ready she'll bring the chicks off the nest. Are you going to let her raise them?
