   As long as you don't mind chicks, let her sit! In 21 days you'll have lots of little fluffy butts! You should move her to her own pen once the chicks hatch, but for now just wait! I'm debating if my Silkie has gone broody too...she's been on the nest 4 hours now and it doesn't usually take her that long to lay an egg...I'll just have to wait and see I guess.
