One of my little bantams has gone broody so instead of trying to break the broodiness I decided to get some fertile eggs to put under her. I'm really excited
!!!! They are silkie eggs and I put 6 under her. Now for some questions. How long should I expect to wait for them to hatch?(I read 21 days) and should I seperate her and the eggs from my other 3 bantam hens? When they hatch (if they do) will the hen protect them from the other hens in the yard or should I seperate her and the chicks from the other hens? I'm really excited because this is the first lot of eggs I've tried to hatch under a broody. Wish me luck
