Is she too old?!? (HELP)

[SunnySid3Up]

This is my 9 year old silkie, she's nothing special "pet quality." She has been sitting on eggs for a while now, none of them are hers. I'm concerned that sitting on eggs and going broody might make her healthy decline, so I'm kind of worried about it.

I don't know if I should take the eggs, and incubate them myself or let her keep sitting. I also don't know how many eggs she can fit under her she has 9 under her right now, when is it enough? Is she too old, please help.

As long as she is leaving the nest to eat and drink and has not been setting more than 21 days, she should be fine.

Just make sure she stays fed and hydrated. You could put some feed and water close to her, but she should be fine.
