Chickens are like Lays. Bet you can't hatch just one.

I have 2 silkies who went broody yesterday. right now they are sitting on wooden eggs to prove to me that they are serious. thinking of giving them real eggs tomorrow

I have one sitting on eight eggs for a week now.

I think you should put some of the sweet little faverolles & SS eggs under them.

Last year I had 3 silkies broody on the same nest and between them they hatched out four chicks. It was fun to watch them. One of the cochins went broody and gave up the nest after a week so I put the remaining viable eggs with them thinking they would give up too but they all got along good together taking turns setting. She is one of the three so I think she will do ok.

last year I had 2 silkies sit on 18 eggs, 9 of which were from my big girls. they hatched 16 and were great moms.

I know, I have a dozen SLW eggs coming from ebay and two dozen BLRW and BCM being shipped out a week from Monday from a fellow BYCer.
I think I better clear a space in the coop for my bed.

He said when we get a place he is going to turn the camper into a hen house for me. He loved the one you have.

I wanted to put more under her but didn't know how many was too many. I figured she could handle 8 okay.
