Broody again & has 9wk babies

[robinmon]

This is my little Silkie, Mushy Face, and her 9wk old full size Barred Rock babies. Guess who's broody again? Her babies stay with her in the nesting box most of the day!! Her chicks arrive this week. Once they arrive her pen will be closed off with a gate.
What in the world do you think these babies will do?
They are fine in the flock and self sufficient obviously... I get that..but oh they love their mommy and she never makes them leave. Thoughts?

I'd remove the cockerels from her box during this time or they might get bored and leave on their own. She's a pretty Satin!

Just funny that’s what I think. I take it you ordered chicks and she is not sitting on eggs? Atleast that way you don’t have to worry about the older ones breaking eggs.
