i have a big problem, at first i had two silkies that were broody which was fine. my cochins were not quite a year yet and not broody so my silkies were laying on my eggs well know my cochins are broody. and now my other two silkies are broody i have a total of 4 silkie hens and i have no silkies to lay eggs because they are all broody, my two first silkies have been broody for over 8 weeks i have tried to take them off their nest, they just go right back on kick off the cochins and steal the eggs from them!!!. i have put my rooster up so he will not bother them so they can have some piece for awhile, i have been told they should not be broody for a long time my silkies . what should i do, i have hatched out 9 chicks and number 10 will be coming in a day or so.
thanks ma hen
