How often is too often?
I have a Silkie who has a 4 week old chick by my Cochin roo currently, and although she isn't laying at the moment, I have noticed the roo mounting her again in the last couple days. I guess my question is this: If she begins to lay soon & goes broody again, is it safe to let her sit? They seem to go through a physical stress, and I don't want to jeopardize her health!
