I think I got my first silkie egg but I'm not sure. Here's the story. So yesterday it was raining a little bit and when I got home from school I went down to check on them and collect eggs. I realized that one of my silkies is missing so I checked in the coop and she was there. They don't know how to walk down the ramp yet but they know how to walk up. When I looked in I saw all of the shaving in piles and all over the place. I always make sure they are nice and flat. I didn't see anything yesterday cause the shavings were all over the place. I looked in today and I saw a little red mark in the shavings and when I got to it and uncovered it it was an egg. It is just smaller than an inch and a half long and smaller than an inch wide. The color is a light cream/tan. All of my silkies are around six and a half to seven months old. So the big question is do you think one of my silkies laid it.
Thanks

Based on the information given, it's possible your silkies laid it. What other chickens do you have with them? Check the vent of the hen you think laid it, compare it to another nonlaying hen's vent to make sure. It should be considerably wider.
