I got a silkie hen from a lady who was tired of her going broody, I have had her a couple yrs now and she has only gone broody once@RoyalChick ~ teehee!
Yes, there are standard size hens that go broody but w/Silkies it's pretty much guaranteed if that's what a breeder is relying on ~ consistent broodies & good mommas that will hatch an ostrich egg if possible. Shoot! Our Violet tried to hatch a cucumber slice!

I've become suspect over the years of rehomed birds. Also, we rehomed a good laying hen that didn't lay well for the new owner! WTH?! is up w/ these hens?

There's always exceptions to the rule. Relocation of hens seems to upset them since they are creatures of habit & stress out in unfamiliar environments. They get suspicious if you change the location of their favorite waterer or feed port! They stress easier than they show us, poor things.I got a silkie hen from a lady who was tired of her going broody, I have had her a couple yrs now and she has only gone broody once
