I order some eggs from a member here and will receive them in a few days.
There will be silkies and marans, I was wondering if i need to set the eggs under my broody hen at the same time or keep the silkies out a couple days. Or will they hatch at the same time?
Thank you for the help
 
It'll be fine - I've mixed banty and standard eggs under a broody all the time and they do fine. Banties should hatch in 21 days, same as the standards, so I'd put them all under the broody at the same time.
 
Thank you very much, i will keep them all toguether.
