Am glad someones else's Silkies do that, I really thought something was wrong!! One stays in a box that I have in there run all day, comes out to eat but she just sits there and she's not broody!

Don't know the answer to your questions 1&2, but as for the rooster issue I haven't had any trouble with mine so far and I have 3 roos in with 7 girls.
They sure are cute!!!

Your gonna have to get Silkies!!! LOL I love them and they would be perfect for the elderly. They are so soft!!
I will be hatching a few and will see about getting some eggs or chicks to you guys!

I'm incubating but don't have any eggs to swap. I thinned out my flock to raise only Silkies, Lav and Black Ameraucanas, Lav Orps and LF Cochin Frizzles, well I guess you can call it thinned down LOL. My Silkies quit laying, and my ameraucanas just started, Frizzles are only about a month old...
Thank you for your reply. I have 3 hens hatched April 23rd, they are huge LOL and very gentle!!!
I purchased the eggs from someone here on BYC and hatched them, can't remember name right now but they sure are nice!
