Is she being overgroomed by others? Some of my EEs look like that because others pluck her beard out.

She doesn't have the wattles that the non-bearded get.

My niece was out feeding my silkies bread today....

One of my pullets was walking around the run this morning and scratching in all the corners looked like she was trying to find a place to make a nest so I blocked corners and put plastic eggs in the place I want her to lay now she is sitting on the plastic eggs. I look for eggs every day and no one has layed. Will she go broody without laying an egg and should I take the plastic eggs away?

Hi. I have a 2 month old splash girl? That is having leg problems suddenly. I already tried vitamin b without much success after 24 hrs. It is small and gets pushed off food a bit. I have her inside now. Anything silkies are known to have problems with? I was thinking about trying E and selenium next but shes not really having neck problems.

I have never had one go broody that wasn't laying and usually they will brood after a year old.
