Glad you tracked her down - she looked very comfy where she was!!
-
:lol: :lol: Clever little chook - 12 eggs, wow, good luck with hatching them. Who's the dad ?
-
:lol: that is brillaint

Well done! She had obviously decided her eggs were NOT for breakfast!
Hope she hatches some, she should as silkies are great brooders and delightful mums too!

She is a small hen with big attitude so its thick gloves later :?
Father or "who's the daddy" anyones guess I hope its D'arcy as they will be cream silkie orpington crosses :shock: could be interesting if not its Sampson dark Laced Orpington cross silkie. Whatever I am sure they will be lovely if any hatch.
I have the broodybox all ready, must say it looks comfy wouldn't mind it myself :)

Brillant :!: Glad she turned up safe n sound. "The attitude", is that a thing with Silkies :?: As my little ball of fluff is definitely the boss hen. :lol:
-
Yes I think so but she was very good tonight when I moved her a bit of chattering but no pecking like Yummy does (ouch) I had big gloves on in case but she was good

Daisy my Silkie is fine with humans will let you pick her up (complains a bit but no pecking), but she's a little terror with the other hens some twice her size. :lol:

So pleased Slowef, hope we get some babies soon bless her little heart :wink:
