Silkies hatching eggs question

[seminolewind]

I have 3 silkies sitting on 5 eggs. Sometimes I see the eggs are not exactly under the silkies. Is there a problem?

I wouldn't think so. I have game hens that lay 15 or plus eggs and can't fit every one of them under them and hatch all of them off. lol

As long as the eggs are not left out for long periods of time they should be fine. The hens will shuffle the eggs around underneath them and push some towards the outside. If they are moving them way out and leaving them there for hours and hours then I would put something beside the so they can not do that anymore.
