Is it unkind to never let a broody Silkie hatch her eggs?

I love Silkies. I have a mixed flock with only one Silkie hen and will be adding a Silkie rooster this spring. I would love to get more Silkie hens, but I really don't want any chicks, mostly because I cannot bear to get rid of any roos that may result and would not be able to keep them either. So my concern is that if I got more Silkies, I would continually be breaking their broody spells and they could never do their natural thing. Do you think this would be unkind or cause any physical or psychological harm? I want the best for the chickens and don't want my selfishness(love of Silkies) get in the way of their happiness, though they would be some very well taken cared of, i.e., spoiled, chicks.

Thanks, and any opinions are welcome!!
 
No... they get over it.

Thank you. I probably put too much "humanism" in these little buggers, but I sure do love them!!
