3 bantams on the same nest

[Billy kerwin]

Hi I have 4 silkies and three have decided to sit on same nest on ground I tried to buy some fertile duck eggs to hatch and they sent me 18 so my daughter started crying saying it wasn’t fair to put any in bin so I divided them between the four birds and 3 are still sharing the nest will they sit together till they-hatched the the eggs ?

I'd separate them, they could have sqabbles over the eggs and end up damaging them. Or fight over hatched chicks and end up killing the chicks accidentally. Move them to seperate nests at least, for more privacy and to avoid damage to eggs or chicks.
