When will she sit? (Silkies)

[SunnySid3Up]

Hello, I have 3 silkie hens, and they started laying about a month ago. We have an 8 year old who has been going broody on them, I have her sitting on 4 right now, but does anyone know when my other girls might go broody on their eggs?

Any day.

We raise and breed silkies. It's a daily chore for me to check the broody jail for one that stopped being broody to put her back in a pen. And then I see that another one or two went broody, so off to the broody jail. One is three and has been broody more than she's not.

If you have eggs sitting there in a nest, I'm shocked one hasn't decided to sit on them.

Any day!
