I have a silkie hen, who all afternoon has become broody! This is her first time sitting. I have twelve silkie eggs in the incubator and they are on day 15. Should I risk putting some of these eggs underneath her and see if she will hatch them? Will it make a difference on day 18 when she isn't supposed to turn them but won't get that they have been incubated for the last 15 days? What if she does turn the eggs after the 18th day? I would love for her to hatch some, but wondering what everyone thinks if it is worth the risk???? Thanks!
