I have a little Silkey that is/was broody on 4 eggs, and doing O.K. My little Cochin took over with her chick, forcing the silkey to try to hatch golf balls. Should I intervene, or just let the girls fight it out. The cochin was/is a good mom, and the Silkey was super protective till she got booted.
 
Yeah, if the Cochin already has a chick at her side, she can't be a good mom to it and be on the eggs for weeks. Tell her to get her own!
