Hi! I have one silkie pullet and she's an amazing mom. She's raising some little Dutch Bantams right now. She came out of broodiness without any babies (no fertile eggs) for about two and a half to three weeks, long enough to start laying again for a week only to go broody again. So I ordered some eggs for her. This is her first time and I am so impressed with her but worry about her not taking care of herself because she's so focused on her chicks. I was able to sneak in one more chick the night hers hatched and she accepted it, without any problems. So yes, you're right about that being the easiest. I need more silkie pullets and hensWe don't hatch very many, but when we do want to add to our flock we just let one of our broody Silkie's take care of the eggs... they are great mom's and we've luckily had 100% success with our Silkie moms.
