May I join? I put 8 Silkie fertilized eggs under two broody Silkies. They are due to hatch on Oct 23rd. This is their first time being broody and attempt to hatch babies. I'm so excited as this is also my first time letting my broody hens hatch their own babies. I hope it all goes well for them. They appear to be very dedicated to their job.

Welcome to the hatch-a-long! So glad you could join it.
Broody silkies are the best, and little silkie chicks are the cutest!
