Set some eggs!! Shell mother her own, not those you bought. Sometimes if they're setting a nest, you can slip a couple just hatched chicks under her at night & she may take them.

Silkies seem to be a "village" for parent sharing 🤣

They really are. I've had a lot of involved roosters, too.

Mass of silkies co-parenting and one will hide the chicks while the others attack
