Broodies

[orpington123]

I have a silkie bantam 1 year old hen. She sits on the eggs for over 24 hours then gets off and before long hops back on but in the meantime I feel the eggs and their are cold. Will they hatch ? Thanks in advance

Maybe she wants a bigger clutch.

Leave her to it, she’s only starting.
Broodies can be on and off for the first three days. After that you’ll be complaining that she’s not going off .
