Do you mean can they hatch their own eggs like, being a mama broody hen? Silkies actually make REALLY good mothers, cochins probably do too, never had them though

yes if they can without incubator ?

for sure! they are the top ranked mother hens doing everything on their own. but they do it on their term, you cant make them hatch chicks.
