I am sure not all 18 is going to hatch ! ( some might not be fertilized and some not her eggs) But I will never know ! I cant wait to see what happens ! right now I am going to make a brooder box for her and the babies. I am worry about other hens (different breeds) killing the babies...
My silkie is sitting on 18 eggs! shes due Oct 3rd. as long she can cover the eggs is never too many ! (I think my silkie should sit on 12 eggs to be comfortable ! )
