What colour egg does your white silkie lay ?

Recommended Posts

Mine lays a dinky little pure white egg. I assumed they all laid the same colour, but she is sitting on hatching eggs at the moment, one of which is supposedly a white silkie egg ( they only had 5 faverolles eggs, so silkie made 6 ). But, it looks nothing like mine, infact , it looks just like the faverolle eggs, beige in colour and medium size. :?

Can't really tell you what colour egg Peggy lays since shes only a wee baby..

Goodluck anyway- i'm sure the chick will be stunning, and i hope your silkie makes a good foster mother.

I'm not saying this in a horrible way but, if you hatch say.. 4 chicks under a broody, do you have to like put them under a heat lamp or anything? or will the mother keep them warm.. and do the chicks pass away for no reason? sorry about these questions..

i got told that my silkie should lay a medium cream egg.

The broody will keep them warm. If she hatches 4 chicks I'll be thrilled, I candled them today ( wish I hadn't ) and hate to say , 4 of them look clear. :(
