If you have no other hens that are laying or close to laying age, one of the Silkies had to have laid the egg.Could some one please respond. I need to know!!!
I'm pretty sure my partridge pullet has started laying eggs. She's about 7 months..maybe 7,5 now. She's been laying down in the coop, like a broody hen would. I can't know for sure because we have several hens in the pen laying, but I'm about 95% sure that the smallest eggs I keep finding are hers.
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
And you are close enough to come on over and pick them up!
