Mine laid almost every day, but they were defective and never went broody
- Silkies are:
- don't lay many eggs
- not cold hearty
- not big or fast
- can't see preditors
- kinda ugly
Yes. I get that some people can't bring themelves to and have to find someone else to. I don't think that's a bad thingBy culling do you also mean putting down a sick bird? If so, unfortunately, I agree. :/
See that is what I am saying they have to be broken to lay eggs more then once every week or two!Mine laid almost every day, but they were defective and never went broody
Again, I agree. Even though I have a solid black hen.Breeds that are only red or black or white are boring
Okay, yeah, I guess that's fair. I'm hoping mine are like that. Less incubating for me and I don't eat eggs anywaysSee that is what I am saying they have to be broken to lay eggs more then once every week or two!
And you probably wouldn't have 20+ of that same black hen at a time, would ya?Again, I agree. Even though I have a solid black hen.It’s not something I’d ever intentionally breed for.
Sorry, I mean was.Happy, don't angry me. Miss Blue is a silkie!
Definitely not. Unless someone dumped 20+ solid black chickens into my yard.And you probably wouldn't have 20+ of that same black hen at a time, would ya?
