Lol, here we go with groovy birds again!

My Silkie is the grooviest, but she has no eggs right now. She started laying at 5 months, then quit after a week. I have heard that pullets can go on-and-off when they start laying. Now, at 6 months, she sits all day on non-existent eggs. She doesn't seem in distress, so I don't think she's egg-bound, but I have to take her out of the empty nest box to make sure she eats and drinks.

I think I need to get her a peafowl egg to hatch. Chicken math.

If you don't have too many flying friends, ID PUT HER ON SOMETHING

That just sounded too nice, so I ordered eggs from Papa's Poultry: Lemon Cuckoo Orpington and Buff Laced Polish. Yes, I am a hatchaholic. I only ordered one of each egg, though, so that shouldn't add too many more flying friends to the flock.

Hopefully, this will make our sweet Silkie happy.
