Ok, I have a columbian silkie pair. Would I breed them together to get BETTER columbian markings? Or to a nice black? Which should be the roo and which should be the hen?

Edited to add a picture of the roo

My little blue Silkie pullet just started laying this week!!!

I LOVE this breed! They are so beautiful, sweet, brave, and best of all ....... a great layer! She's giving me an egg a day! I live in Maine so it's cold, roughly 10 hrs of daylight (I am not supplimenting their light either), and yet she's laying every day. Is prolific laying a standard trait of Silkies?

Anyway, I've made up my mind.....I must get more.

I have three pet silkies. Snooki was born on May 15th and laid her first egg last Sunday, Nov 28th. It has been five days and she hasn't laid another one.
Can it be normal for new layers to have so many days between eggs?

I don't know all the factors that could influence it but...
We live in Central Texas and the weather has been 50s at night and 70s in the day.
Probably about 10 hours of light a day..
She eats Purina Layena
Her first egg was small but perfect

She made a little nest and laid her first egg in her box (so cute).
I have a tiny (real tiny) yard and there are no eggs anywhere else.
She is acting like her sweet happy self

I am just worried and want to make sure she is OK. If she wants to wait a long time between eggs, its OK with me as long as I know that nothing is wrong with her. Is there anything I should be checking on her?

Thanks for helping me.

their first pullet lay can be really unreliable. sometimes they are walking around and an egg falls out

as long as she is not acting distressed ( possibly egg bound) don't worry

In my experience, pullets can be random the first couple weeks they start to lay. It takes a while for them to get geared up to produce everyday/every other day. I'm sure she's fine.
