Years ago when I had hatchery silkies, I had one nasty little buff male. He would jump on you whenever he got the chance. Then I got rid of the hatchery birds and got hatching eggs from breeders, the birds I have now all the males are nice.

Mine normally start between 7-9 months. Usually all lay by 9 months.

I've had plenty that did not lay that early--wish they did. I had one girl who didn't start laying until she was a good 13 months.

So yes, I know the feeling fondly.

I've never had luck with Silkie roos. They always seem to hate me?

2 of my girls began to lay around 8-9 months, but I have one who is roughly 11 months and hasn't layed a single egg. So, yes, just keep waiting.
