One of our silkies decided to brood and we let her. She hatched 4 babies of about 10 eggs she had gathered, and now for the past few days she no longer sits on the remaining eggs, and just walks around the pen. (We moved her, the chicks and the remaining eggs to a small secure pen in our garage) She did a fantastic job caring for the babies and we are wondering when she can re-join the flock? The babies are 10-15 days old and are thriving. What of the remaining eggs? There could be partly developed chicks in there. Hopefully not since she hasn’t sat on them for a while.
