My little silkies have stopped laying eggs. My blue silkie has not laid an egg in about 3 weeks and she is loosing a bunch of her feathers. She seems to be healthy and has a great appetite. My buff silkie stopped laying eggs before easter. A friend gave us a frizzle hen who was sitting on eggs and so the silkie decided she wanted to sit on eggs as well. The frizzle began laying eggs after we took the eggs she was sitting on away. We gave the silkie plastic easter eggs to sit on and then we were told that as long as she was sitting on eggs she would not lay. We took the eggs away immediatley and still no eggs. The buff silky has not lost any feathers. There living conditions have not changed. They are well fed and live like little queens.
