I'm in Indiana, and always have fertile Silkie eggs, but I don't ship, so that probably doesn't help you. Hopefully you can break her or find her some eggs.Ella went broody even though there was nothing in her nest box. She's one of the indoor chickens who lives in my mudroom. Her companion, Thunderhead, is all confused why she's not spending time with him anymore. I tried breaking her of it by removing her nest box, but all she did was find a corner, scratch around in the sand and settle back down again like her imaginary eggs moved to that spot since her nest is no longer available.
I wish I had a fertile egg or two to give her, but I don't even know if any of my roosters are fertile yet. They're quite incompetent. They're five to six-month-old silkies and a cochin who haven't figured out yet a little romance goes a long way. Grabbing someone's neck and mounting her just gets them thrown off and pecked. And they don't go for the silkie or cochin hens who are closer to their size. No, they go for the LF hens who are like five-six pounds compared to their two or so pounds. White Flame is so totally in love with Henrietta, the largest of the RIR that he gets upset of any other rooster shows her affection. Even when they do bother to romance and get a willing hen, they end up mating with with her back rather than the appropriate area.It's a good thing I'm not really looking to breed my silkies or anything. It might be years before I get anything.![]()
