I'm gonna guess a say it's a silkie!
Of course
My favorite hen is broody too, since last week, and for both of our well-being (me mentally & her physically) last night I took her BBS eggs from her and gave her my week old BLRWs
She is doing awesome already. She lets herself drop way down when she broods. Worries me. Even with me moving her off the nest once or twice a day, she gets soooooo thin.
I have a hatchery stock white silkie that is on call duck eggs due to hatch next week. She is being a trooper sitting for 28 days! Not lost much weight, and gets off daily without me nudging her! This is her first time being broody. She is the only white one I have, and grabbed her last year from TSC bin. She had been stealing eggs from my other layers (none were fertilized) and was trying to cover 8 LF eggs!
