I got a fun surprise today as I checked my broody mama. I wasn't sure about letting her sit on the eggs at first. I've given the fizzle/silke mix a chance twice just to see the eggs abandoned after two weeks each time. But this mama was way way more protective and assertive when I first found her hoarding over a small clutch. So I moved her to the fully enclosed hutch that's usually used for little ones or quarantined birds. And now after many anxious days of telling myself to not mess with her to much, we have our newest chick.
