I have a Silkie x OEGB and she's the broodiest thing I've ever seen.
She first went broody after her first couple of eggs, in the winter. Then her chicks were 6 weeks old and she went broody again and the cycle goes on.
She'll set any eggs.
They are so cute. I have an updated picture of my SilkEE, good name for them by the way.
Her name is Twiggs and she is the softest thing I have ever touched and can fly high and far, better than any chicken we have.
She is the size of my other silkie hen.
3 days ago she laid her first...
They are not laying but I think it is only going to be a little bit bigger than a silkie with a little more weight. I am also interested to see what size eggs they lay. My neighbor eats her silkies eggs although small she said they are good.
This is my EE Silkie cross. EE roo with Silkie mom. About 7 or 8 weeks old, hopefully a girl, we call her Road Runner for now she just runs so fast and looks kind of like a Road Runner. She has 5 toes, dark skin, little feathering on legs coming in, and a silkie face. She is always with her best...
