I have 8 frizzle eggs in my incubator for 2 days. My silkie hen is also currently laying on her own 6 eggs, approximately 7 days ahead of frizzle eggs in development. I would have liked to have my silkie hatch the frizzles as her own, but if I slip the frizzle eggs under her right before her own hatch I'm afraid she will not finish incubating the frizzles as her own will be hatched already and secondly will she be able to fit them all under her? Or should I keep the frizzles in the incubator until they hatch and try to introduce chicks once the dry off to try to pass them off as her own? Help?
