Ah! Congrats!I am getting two silkie chicks in July, and I was wondering at what age did everyone's silkies start laying? How old were they when they first went broody? How many times a year and what time of year do they go broody? How do your silkie roosters get along with your other breeds of rooster? Thank you!
You'll luv em...and they r definitely addictive!
I have 3 silkies that are 10 months old...1 roo n 2 hens. I can't attest to other breeds as I only have silkies BUT my Vanilli started laying at 6 months old and first broody at 7 months old (she goes broody quite often but usually fairly easy to break.) The other one Milli didn't start laying til closer to 8 months and only broody once.
I don't think they care what time of the year it is...they just go broody as silkies are known to do.
