Hello,
I have a black silkie hen who has been broody for over a month now. She get up to eat and scratch around a bit when its warm then she is right back to sitting. I am starting to get worried about her. I gave her eggs but it was cold when she got off the nest to get some food so the eggs didn't make it, Should I set up a cage and try to stop her from going broody or should I see if she will adopt the 7 silkie chicks I have. The Chicks are a month old now. If I have her adopt the chicks how should i go about the process as its new to me
