I only have three laying hens. And this was a fourth egg so I assume it's from her..

Again. ..what do I know! LoL. I do have a Barred Rock Hen who will on rare occasion lay two eggs in one day so that might be the scenario or.......its from your Silkie. Its the shape/color of the egg that's throwing me.

Yestrday i,found one of my 5 month old silkie chickens in a nesting box with one of my BO. I kicked her out of the box assuming she was hiding from the 5 month old silkie Roosters who were mounting her. It was my understanding that silkies take about 8 months to a year to lay. Well yesterday we found a little brown egg. I assumed one of my buff laid a wing egg. My kids thought it was adorable. We saved it to show their friends. Well today I found her back in the egg box and left her there, came back later and found another little egg. Could it really be that my 5 month old silkie is reAlly laying. And aren't her eggs supposed to be whit?

It looks a bit like the hatching eggs I recieved for my partridge silkies. Iys a little darker tinted but they can come in different shades.

Maybe because it's the first egg its shape is odd

Cute pictures and glad the roo is better behaved now and perhaps try wearing closed toed shoes in their pen or around them? Also, I really dont mean to offend here but its been bugging ne so i have to ask, are you sure it's a yorkie? Again I really don't mean to offend but it's just it looks more like a schnauzer or schnauzer mix to me. But either way, it is a very very cute dog and sorry. Oh and your roo is gorgeous so i hope you don't have to get rid of him

That could very well be a silkie egg. I currently have 7 adults silkie hens and I get eggs ranging from brown to cream to white. Size looks about right too. My girls started laying ranging from 5 months to 11 months- most about 6-7 months old. This is a silkie egg with a wyandotte and a welsummer. -all pullets
