Chicken hatching- need advice ASAP!

[Marleers]

I own 3 silkies (2 hens and a rooster) for show purposes. Because of the disease spreading in California show was called off the entire 2019 season and therefore I decided to take this year to raise more chicks, but with my own fowl. We didn’t know they were going to fertilise and grow so fast but 3 eggs appear to be at day 18-20 via candling and the fourth egg is at about 10 days. My hen is very good about brooding and has not left them for more than 20 minutes a day. I’m going out of town this weekend and I don’t know if I should remove her and the eggs (there are only 2 other adults besides her) and buy a lamp so they are warm while we are gone, or if they will be fine for the weekend. If my obversations are correct, they should hatch any day now and I want to be sure mama and her chicks are safe from my other two and can survive if they hatch without our presence. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely cage her. Move her at night put some hay in her mix and put her eggs in two put food and water and she’ll take care of the rest roosters and other hens are known to kill chicks out in the coop. Make sure you move her at night when she is tired so she doesn’t feel to scared
