Should I Give my Silkie Babies?

[CascadiaRiver]

We have a silkie hen who's just over a year old who is broody a lot ( I know they're supposed to ^^) We get 3 eggs then she goes broody for a month, 3 eggs, broody for a month, ect.
If we give her 2-4 of our 3 day old Silkie Chicks would that make her harder to break in the future?

Raising chicks doesn't affect their broodiness in any way, except to break their current round of it. Some don't even want or know what to do with chicks so it's possible she might not want chicks, but most will take them and happily raise them.

But would it make the Broodiness Worse?

I haven't noticed it being worse, they still will lay a clutch and go broody, then repeat. It's a bantam thing.
