your lucky im still waiting on her to lay ... she could be laying and i just don't know it because i get a couple of white eggs so i have no clue if shes laying but i never see her go near the nest boxes so i think notI also live in a cold area, my silkies are around 9 months old. My 2 partridge started laying first about 2 months ago. They layed for a month and went broody. My black silkie layed her first egg 2 weeks ago and immediately went broody. My buff was last to lay about a week ago.
My broody and her chicks I snuck under her during the night at 4 days old. They are now 2 1/2 weeks all doing great.
