Brooding hen with other hens

400

So far 3 out of 9 eggs have hatched, 1 didn't make it I can't tell why just found it dead. The other two are staying under the frizzle Bantys while the Silkie broody is sitting on the other 6 eggs. This is day 22 so I'm not sure if anymore will hatch but these 3 did this morning so I'm not giving up yet and neither is the silkie. Hope the image works :)
 
Oh and something odd I noticed both little chicks have a yellow spot of feathers on their head. I've never seen that before on any of the other silkies. The hen is partridge and the rooster was black.
