My silkie is def broody, although this is the first time she will ever be a mother. I have day 17 incubated eggs in the bator and was wondering if I could or should put them underneath her. She is currently sitting on unfertalized eggs. I really don't know what to do. Will the temp change and humidity change affect the eggs if I slip a few under her? And will she know what to do when they start to hatch in 4 days? I am not so confident with the bator, trying to get everything exactly right. I candled the eggs last night, for the final time and ten out of the twelve are good! What should I do?? Has anyone ever put day 17 eggs under a broody hen? Please HELP!!!!!!!
