I love silikes so much. They are so poofy

Thanks. The silkie with poof is the LF Silkie that was originally your's.

P.S not really a clone, I just call any bird I produce that looks exactly the same a clone.

Soooo hypothetically if your production chicken has been sitting on a nest for a few days and hasn’t been laying for those 2 days and is all puffed up and stayed puffed up when I took her out and clucked angrily at me and didn’t want to roost, is she egg bound or broody?

Sounds possibly broody.

If taken off the nest, & she goes back all fluffed up, & clucking, that's a good indicator she's broody.

Yes ma'am. Unfortunately there is no direct way to do it. It's too expensive for BYC to afford.

Darn. I guess I'll have to do it that way

I have a broody situation too. My mom's OEGB stashed eggs somehow without me noticing for a week, & now I will soon have to find homes for the chicks.
