My silkie has gone broody its day 3 this would be her first hatch will she do everything properly or should i heat up the incubator shes very agrresive when i or another chicken gets close what should i do leave theM with her or bring em in?!!
 
leave them with her it's much better having a broody than a incubator aggresive moms are always the best trust me she is gonna be a good mama

i am on day 21 and I've got some wriggly peeping eggs and my hen is crazy aggressive but I just were gloves I know my broody is going to be a good mom and this is er first time she is pekin cross silkie and silkies always get broody and they are always good moms
 
Let her hatch them. Hens are designed to do this and IMO broody hatched chicks always do better than incubator hatched.
 
I had one hatch but I had to help it because it got dry up under the mother and it was stuck when I took it out it had absorbed the yolk and now it cute and fluffy
