Fertile Silkie Egg HELP

[silkiechickens8]

Hi. I just purchased 2 silkie hens from somebody who kept them with roosters and a couple of days ago I found a fertile egg in there. I really want it to hatch but its really cold outside. The hens sit on it sometimes but not enough to keep it warm. Should I put it in an incubator or just let the hens deal with it? Thanks!

You'll want to incubate it. Unless the hens are broody, and it sounds like they aren't, they won't hatch it for you.

You're welcome! Good luck hatching it!
