I HAVE to bring the thread back up... black silkie #3 is Shelby.. she is our little bitty sweetheart.. well yesterday she decided she is in her nest and is not coming out until she has something to show for it...

Do I feed her, or let her come out when she wants? Can I add Advils (other blk silkie) eggs under her? I have to lift the lid to check on her, will this upset her? It is so cold.. what a terrible time of the year to go broody.. will she continue to lay fertile eggs for a few days? I have a few of her eggs in the fridge, can I bring them out warm them up and add them? Yes she lives with Simon.. her roo friend. If it continues to get too cold, should I take the entire contents of her nest and move her and it to a cage in the warmer garage?.. oh I feel like a mother hen!
