anyone in the pocono area willing to sell 1 or two baby chicks. It seems i can't break my broody silkie. I've tried the water technique and a broody cage but shes a stubborn little one....

Thx Fisherlady for your response. It was getting dark so i couldnt see all eggs very well. Im hoping they are viable. Shes been on them for about 5 to 6 days.
Newbie question. I just came home from work tonight and found dried egg yolk on all of f the eggs my hen was on. I dont know what i should do. Do i leave them? Can i clean them with a cloth and warm water? Or has all been lost and i should just chuck them?
Hello all, newbie chicken owner, well not so new, have had chickens for two years. But it is the 1st time I have a broody with fertile eggs. Super excited. My black silkie has refused to move since Tuesday. She has 7 eggs under her. Crossing my fingers for a successful hatch.
