Sounds like a perfect match for my friend's chicken.

it has been a long time how are you? I am finally starting to get better. I'll be leaving for Phoenix in about 4 weeks. Taking my little Seramas with me and the neighbor is tending my layers. how are the geese.
 
I'm glad I live near Leland Mills! 100lbs. for 30 dollars. Lay mash. My chickens love it, and so far so good the last 2 and a half yrs. of them being on it. :)
 
Well... my silkie decided she didn't want to start out her egg laying life in the nest boxes. Yesterday, I noticed there was an egg outside of the nest box, after realizing it was hers, I watched her today as I let them out, and she came out and then disappeared... I thought maybe she had gone under our shed, but after looking under there, and not seeing her, I was stumped! So I sat and waited for 20 - 30 min waiting to see where she'd come out from. Then I noticed a slight movement under the kids' playhouse slide! There she was.... and 5 eggs! (She was just laying an egg, not going broody). I guess she never figured out that she had to lay in the nest boxes. And I guess my Buff Orp that has been laying for a few months, decided that she had to add a couple to that spot too! grrr! (second egg wasn't pictured here, because I had taken it, and THEN took a pic lol) I put them back in their run, and told them they were grounded for a week until they could all learn to lay in the nest boxes! Silly birds.

(sidenote: they all should know where to be laying, as I've had hens doing it for some time now... and had wooden eggs in the boxes before they started laying. I think my Silkie just forgot as she was out free ranging that she had to go back into the coop, and then decided it was a good place to continue laying)
 
Well it's day 23 today and still no chicks hatching from under Dixie. Gotta say I'm feeling pretty nervous that none are going to hatch :s shouldn't they have hatched already?
