Malays are no different from every other chicken, when there ready they will lay. But if you don't have a rooster don't expect to be fertilized.

Ohh gotchu, yeah i was told differently lol. But yeah i have seen them doing the deed so hopefully they are fertile but should i do something to keep the egg warm or just let her handle it on her own?
