This is really out of curator for her not to be on the forum for two weeks. I hope she is well. I'm starting to worry about her. Pam

Well I guess all it took for our lone Mottled Houdan to start laying was for new to threaten her with the freezer! We got a Nice small white egg today. Our first white egg in years.

She makes a great "Feather Bed"

How long do the babies hang with the mom?

She is just so pretty! With my broody hens hatch she dedicated herself to mothering them for 10 weeks, went back to laying for 5 days, decided to be broody for a day and then remembered she already had chicks and stopped sitting to fret over them again.

Not an egg since, silly girl. Her teenagers don't want to be fussed over anymore.

Uhhhhh.......I guess until.....I don't know. Lol. I guess I will know when the time is right. Maybe when they all are perching instead of her warming and cuddling them. They should be pretty independent when they can keep themselves warm.

This is my first experience with a broody instead of a brooder.

I think all 3 light colored Silkies are splash. That should jazz up the look of my flock! Along with the black frizzle. It should be interesting.
