Thanks. They look really good in the coop.

Her eggs would have been much safer if she would have brooded within the pots.

I wish my silkies would go broody!!

They will. Quoting from someone last year,"They will try to hatch a door knob!" My girl is about a year old. Covers those eggs like a champ! When I check her eggs and put them back, you should see how she wriggles back and forth on them. Like she's saying, "How! Dare! You! In-ter-rupt! Me!" Quietly cursing me in her Silkie tone of voice.

How old are your girls?

Honestly, I can't tell. I bought them as young girls... Not chicks. The breeder had so many he had no idea either. I suspect 12 weeks. I've had them for 2 weeks myself. Some of my other silkies are approaching 18 though

You got some time then. And trust me, when they are ready, you had better be ready with either you own eggs or some priority shipped eggs! They go into their own lockdown! LOL!
