    Comment by 'myplumtee' in article 'Everything you need to know about: SILKIES!'

    I read that silkies aren't proficient layers. They only lay about 3 a week. Is that the Average? My little Cashew has laid obesity a day for the last five days and is not acting the least bit broody. Is this normal?

    What is the earliest that you all have had experience with hens laying? Isn't between 5 and 6 months the norm? It is kinda concerning me. I'm a new chicken mom. I already lost a little roo and it broke my heart. I don't want anything to happen to anymore.
