Mine have been laying year round. An egg every other day. My silkies don't lay every single day. But I bet that is different for each bird.Hi! I have got a trio of Silkies, a pullet a cockerel and 1 who we aren't sure what sex he/she is. Is it true that Silkies stop laying in the summer?
I can understand!! I can't wait to see how this next group of mine fill in!Thanks, Hawkeye! I'm so anxious to see how she turns out!
Yeah, that's a great age!! Definitely a GO. Enjoy your new birds!!! Congrats!! Post pictures when you get them home and settled.Ok guys--I heard back about the pretty trio...the roo is 2 1/2 years and the hens are 2 years old. Is this too oldto give me a good number of babies and get my breeding program started? I want to go look at them tomorrow, but wanted some input. Thanks so much for all the help!
AND, I have chicks pipping!!!
We must have over a 100 state testers here. I guess I'm pretty darned lucky, it's very easy to find someone to test your flock.That depends on where you live. Every state has different rules. Most western states have no testing requirements. I think Oregon may be an exception (it's either Oregon or Washington, and I never can remember which, and I am not certain what the specific requirements are). In a lot of western states getting NPIP tested is very difficult to impossible.
