Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has had experience with intermittent Broodiness and whether or not it can produce any chicks? I have a silkie that is still laying but accumulating quite a clutch and is sitting on them often enough that they don't freeze but not often enough that they're really taking off... I candeled them earlier tonight and two are starting to develope but are certainly delayed... There are 6 now and likely 7 by end of day tomorrow.
I'm just wondering if some hens do this during early spring while accumulating a clutch? She's an experienced silkie hen with turkeys, ducks and chicks under her belt!
