Do you sell sexed silkie chicks?

I have two silkies, but they are too old to lay, I think....

Guys I think I'm going nuts! This is the third time in two weeks I have a membrane egg, and I can't figure out who is doing it. I sat down with a notepad tonight, and I only have three ideas.

1. One of the old silkies has started to lay again (maybe because of improved nutrition and free ranging?)

2. The broody BSL with new chicks is laying the membrane egg.

3. The Olive egger that has gone broody is still putting out an egg.

Here are the eggs I collected today :

The brown egg is from the Legbar, The Olive egg is from the CCL/Marans cross (uaully I get two but her sister is broody). The four blues are from the CCLs. Two very light blues from the BSL (the third BSL just hatched out the turkey poults) and two white eggs from the Cali greys. I also got another egg from my Bielefelder, but I collected that earlier today.

I have 16 chickens in total:

4 CCL
3 BSL
2 CCL/Marian's
2 Silkies
1 Legber
1 Biele
1 Roo
2 Cali Greys

I am selling 4 girls tomorrow morning, so that may help me narrow it down. Just thought maybe you guys might have an idea on my puzzle...

@AnneInTheBurbs , I'm betting on one of the older silkies. But, it's just a guess.


Speaking of eggs, I got the first egg from my silkied lavender ameraucanas today It's been added to the incubation line-up

I got the first eggs from my Silkied Ams yesterday. Are they doing "synchronized laying" ?

Here's hoping it hatches

I am voting on it being one of the older silkie hens. She may be starting back up for a combination of reasons, better nutrition and free ranging as you said, and don't forget that the days are getting longer so older hens who may be much slower or stopped all together in winter will be starting back up now that days are getting longer.
