My little silkie decided to go broody and wanted to sit on her eggs that she as well as my other two girls had laid. She was sitting on around 8 eggs and about 1 week into her sitting on them I noticed she hadn't got off to go to the toilet so I took her off the nest. To my surprise her 8 eggs had turned into 17 eggs..........the other girls must have been getting in there with her and adding to her clutch.
1 hatched today YEY!!
How long will she continue to sit on the other eggs, I assume more will hatch over the next 24hrs but will she sit there for another week?
I have turned the incubator on and I will just wait and see?
