I got my chickies around April. I have 3 silkies and 1 buff. My silkies are... were laying til they went broody:/ but my buff has yet to lay. When she became of age to lay, she began molting and has been molting ever since. I haven't seen an egg from her since i got her. My silkies lay small eggs so its easy to tell the eggs apart. Is it normal for her to go straight into molting without beginning egg production? Is there anything i can do to help her out with her slow start? What are the best feed options for her during this time? I know shes a hen cause she doesn't have any traits to show shes a rooster. Its my first year raising chickens so all this is pretty new to me. Thanks for the help!
