It was really funny watching them together because the silkie could walk under her and would snuggle under her at night. I have a green egg curse right now, so far since my Bubby died I have only one EE that has made it to near adulthood besides the one that just died. I got her in June or July, so she could start laying anytime now.
I am trying to get a colorful basket again. Right now I just have boring light brown eggs from my two red sexlinks. Although they are awesome ex-battery hens and do me no wrong.
Up and coming from this summer are an EE, a splash maran, a Buff Orp who just started laying yesterday and a dark red hen of some sort (maybe new hampshire) I also have a baby olive egger in the basement.
