Should I go Round 2 or break the broodiness

[australorpchick]

I'm not quite sure what to do at this point.

One of the silkies took over for (or kicked out) another broody after one week. 2 weeks later and nothing's happening with these eggs. In the best interest of the hen should I: 1) get her some eggs to sit on for another 3 weeks or 2) try to break her broodiness?

Thanks!

I would check and see how thin she is, if she still has some meat on her just give her some eggs to sit on to hatch. If she seems to be really thin I would break her and give her some time to get in better condition before she sets again.
