Thank you, everyone for the help. I walked all the way back down there to put the other eggs under the other broody and grab a chick for company but my neighbor had just got home. He had already stuck the remaining eggs under the other hen. And I told him about the chick. I told him that I would hang on to the chick till the morning and if he makes it, I'll bring him back to his mom. I asked about taking another chick for company and he declined. He said the chick probably won't make it. But the chick wakes up every 10 mins and cries and preen's himself, then falls back asleep. That's a good sign, right?
If you lived closer I would buy eggs from you!! You better get an egg recipe book. I think I saw one on my pet chicken or the chicken chick. On Craigslist no one in my town has eggs listed, closest is about 45 mins away. Which would be good for me if I had good layers instead of silkies. Does anyone sell bantam eggs for consumption?
