I have a broody silkie hen laying on eight eggs that I have placed under her. I have never hatched out mu own eggs before either with an incubator or broody hen. I live in Maine and the hatch date is between christmas and the 28th. She is still with the flock, I am afraid to move her afraid she will leave them, But I read a forum about removing the hen and eggs into her own house. Could some one please give me some advice? There is soooo much on the internet I would like to hear from actual people who have dealt with this situation. I am also wondering about taking them awway from her when they have hatched where it is winter time and put them in a brooder to keep warm. Can she keep them warm if I leave them with her. Please fill in on what to do? Thank YOu
