Silkies and Egg Laying

[LPOHHomestead]

We have 2 Silkie hens. Right now our black one is broody and setting all the time. She has been for a few weeks now. Before that, our partridge hen was the broody one. Since she's been off the nest she's laid 2 eggs - in a matter of 3 weeks.

What do other Silkie owners experience with egg laying? Do they ever get in a regular laying pattern? They are both 9 months old.

Lay a clutch of eggs, go broody, raise chicks. Repeat as many times as is possible. That's what silkies do. They are far from a production breed.
