Clutch not hatching

[astodd7835]

Good morning everyone. My silkie Marilyn's clutch is not hatching. I'm not sure if it's been too cold in the Northeast the past few weeks. Finally the warm weather is here. We're on day 25. She's such a great mom. When would you recommend I give her another batch? Last year she sat 2 cycles in a row because the first didn't hatch. My concern is she's another year older and I don't want her health jeoprodized, but she's tough to break when she's broody. Any thoughts oh great ones?
Amy

You could always go buy a few day old chicks from the local feed store and slip under her at night. That would probably be what I would do but thats just my opinion
