Pippin REALLY wants to be a mom: so determined!
The eggs we bought her were clear on day 7 so we bought her some new ones- they have not arrived yet!
She's been sitting for around 2 weeks already (we are keeping her on the clear eggs until the new ones arrive)
but I'm worried in case she will be fed up by the time the new eggs arrive (around 3-4 days time). She seems pretty determined to have babies though.
I really don't want to incubate the eggs myself or raise the chicks. I loved raising Kiwi, Pickles and Blue but there is so much mess raising chicks and I hate doing integration!
Last time, when she was broody we gave her a supermarket egg- when we took ot away after 21 days, she stayed on the nest for another 2-3 weeks.
How long can silkies sit on unhatched eggs before giving up?
