My silkie that went broody has done great! I put three regular size eggs under her and 2 have pipped and I hear peeps from the other egg. I will have to go back and check again in a little bit. Dont worry I will break out the camera and share some pictures

Silkie moms are the BEST! They will hatch and raise anything! Thanks for the pics, poor little chicky, he probably is thinking " hey, who turned out the lights?".
