So I ended up miscounting sometime along the way. There were 14 chicks in total, one passed last night. Final count is 13 healthy chicks

I used to have chick fever pretty bad...but then I got silkies that try to hatch year-round haha

Jailbird abruptly "weaned" the chicks when they were 2 ½ weeks old. I've found homes for 10 of them and am down to these little guys, now a month old today. You can see in the pic the black one's lil' crop is slam full hehe

Does anyone know how to deal with chicken fever when silkies have it.

Break them like any other bird. Mine aren't stubborn at about staying broody with no eggs. My sebrights were 1000 times worse

I just let my Silkies go on being broody. I used to break them, it they are broody more often than not, so it got to be too much work - lol! Mine do well getting off the nest to eat and drink, so I don't really worry about them. I check on them every day when they're on the nest, though, and I sometimes have to trim nails and beaks.
