I hatched my first batch of chickens (silkies) on 1 July 2020. Today one of my silkie hens has laid an egg. I was thinking more likely to be March or April because she is still young and it is winter. Is this normal. The egg is perfectly formed, a cream coloured and small. She had no interest of brooding it. There are no cockerels as unfortunately I had to re-home them due to rules and out of 9 was left 6 hens. Can somebody tell !e if this is normal. I did see one of them lifting her wings yesterday while standing still like she was stretching, was this her in process of laying? I am novice so excuse questions. Regards
