What's The Most Eggs Your Hen Has Sat On?

[Je33ieg]

I have a broody silkie bantam hen currently sitting on 4 eggs; how many more do you think she can handle?

What breed are the eggs?

I don't have chickens but I did have a Mallard that sat on 22 eggs.

I have her on 3 silkie eggs and one easter egger egg. the reason i'm asking is because i have a neighbor who wants my hen to sit on some of their's, but i'm not sure how much more room she has!

I think for her size I would not go more than 6 -8 she needs to be able to cover them and turn them.
