Well to hatch any egg you need warmth.

Either you let the mother hen (or a surrragate mother) sit on the eggs until they hatch, or you can incubate them. They usually take an average 21 days to hatch.

It can be risky letting a hen sit on eggs, because some chickens (particularly silkies) will sit on the eggs for so long they forget to take breaks for food and water. All you can do is wait and see. If her condition is deteriorating too quickly. Take the eggs from her.

Other than that, silkies are one of the best breeds for hatching and rearing eggs!
