Am glad someones else's Silkies do that, I really thought something was wrong!! One stays in a box that I have in there run all day, comes out to eat but she just sits there and she's not broody!

Don't know the answer to your questions 1&2, but as for the rooster issue I haven't had any trouble with mine so far and I have 3 roos in with 7 girls.
They sure are cute!!!
Ayda
Your gonna have to get Silkies!!! LOL I love them and they would be perfect for the elderly. They are so soft!!
I will be hatching a few and will see about getting some eggs or chicks to you guys!

I'm incubating but don't have any eggs to swap. I thinned out my flock to raise only Silkies, Lav and Black Ameraucanas, Lav Orps and LF Cochin Frizzles, well I guess you can call it thinned down LOL. My Silkies quit laying, and my ameraucanas just started, Frizzles are only about a month old...
Thank you for your reply. I have 3 hens hatched April 23rd, they are huge LOL and very gentle!!!
I purchased the eggs from someone here on BYC and hatched them, can't remember name right now but they sure are nice!

New to LF Cochins and love them. My question is:
When do they start laying and what color egg , size and how often do they lay???
Thanks in advance
Ayda
I absolutely love them, have already hatched some eggs from these girls and am waiting to see what they look like. So far
Ayda
Again thank you for my "starter flock"
