I want to check my silkie eggs progress. Should I do this at night and just grab the eggs from under my hen? Wont she get angry? Will that disturb her? Any advice appreciated!

What size/breed is the hen? Is she alone in a pen/place or with other hens? Did you "set" this hen or you just allowed her to "collect" her own nest eggs? How many eggs has she got under her?Only concern I had was there were a few eggs only half under her that were cold...
We just wait till we see the laying hen get up to eat, drink or poo then we check them...You can just move the hen and check them, they'll, at least ours, will go right back to them, we just, when possible, wait till she gets up...We actually have a pair of golden sebrights in a cage in our laundry room, hehe, and she's laying on Sultan and Polish eggs for us...We just toss her a few mealworm snacks as a bribe to get up so we can check them! ;-)I want to check my silkie eggs progress.
