Eggs for broody silkie?

[Cwillenburg]

So my silkie decided to go broody 4 days after I started incubating. I really want to finish this hatch out in the incubator because it's my first time ever incubating. I want to order some of the fun and funky hatching eggs from MPC to put under her, but how many do you think she could handle? I don't want to get to many but I know shipped eggs might not hatch as well.

How many eggs in the incubator? Could you share some with her? My broody and I simultaneously hatched eggs last spring. Well, one week apart. They are now one flock of pullets, all from the same parents.

I have 20. I guess i could share, but i really want the funky ones too lol. The ones in the incubator are barnyard mixes from my flock
