Ok thanks. I only have 7 fake eggs. She isn’t going broody with 4 fake and 5 real is she going to go broody on the 7 fake?

Thank you. I have been marking them with dots and recording the date they are laid.

We are now up to 5 real eggs with 4 fakes eggs so 9 total. Neither silkie has gone broody. The only time they go lay on the eggs is when they are laying a new egg and at night when they are sleeping. I go and turn the eggs often everyday, but the eggs are cold to the touch. What is the...

Thank you

Alright thank you. I’ll try anything, I have put some food and water in the coop. I clean the poop from over night out everyday. I try to make sure it’s not too hot or cold for her. I even tried just putting her in the nest on all the eggs. She just looks at them sits for a minute looking at me...

So we are on egg 3 now and I have 4 fake eggs in there with them. She’s not going broody or laying on them. She will go in during the day and move all the eggs around and out of the nesting boxes. I have been putting the eggs back in the nesting box at night before they go in the coop and by the...

Awesome thank you! :)

So my silkie finally laid her first egg today. She’s not going broody on it, but it is her first egg she’s laid since she’s been with us. We do have a rooster that mounts her and we where told when we got her she would be laying fertile eggs for a while longer. I am new to silkies and even to...

😂 I’m trying so hard to just not worry about them. I give them fresh water with ice cubes (it’s been so hot and humid here lately) and food everyday. They have a total of 3 food and water dishes spread around their run one is right up against the coop. Their coop is an old dog house with 2 milk...

I put an egg in the nesting boxes Sunday and either hens seem interested in it nor have laid an egg themselves. I’m starting to worry I was lied to and got non laying hens… I got them Friday and today’s Wednesday and haven’t had a single egg… Of course my boyfriends telling me if they aren’t...

I was told the white one is a year and a half and the other two are about a year. They also told me the white one is very broody and lays lots of eggs.

So she won’t go broody after laying the first egg?

I got them Friday and was told the white one should be laying fertile eggs for 10 days. Today is Sunday and I haven’t gotten any eggs from either hens. Is it normal that she hasn’t laid any yet? They have a coop with 2 nesting boxes, food and water and a roost. Maybe she’s not comfortable? She...

Awesome! Thank you! 😁

I have the 2 silkie hens and roo in a separate run area and coop from my other chickens. Will I be able to just leave her in her coop on her nest with the other hen and roo?

Oh alrighty thank you!

I got 2 hens and a roo! Hoping to breed them also. This will be my first time breeding. Any advice? I’m hoping to just let them lay on their eggs and do everything on their own, but very nervous. Haven’t even gotten any eggs yet lol.

Also I gave them all baths and noticed that the 2 darker ones are a little matted under their wings. Any suggestions on what to do about that? Try brushing them or cutting them out? I just got them a few days ago and they aren’t completely used to me yet. I’m a little nervous having scissors...

Are these just called silkies? The one that is obviously all white a white silkie, and then the grey and white ones called greys or splash silkies?
