I've been getting 3-4 daily from 6 hens (Martha's broody). Today there was only one in the wheelbarrow, where they like to lay. The nest boxes were empty. Then I noticed that there were two eggs in the back of the brooder! Silly birds.

Yes I borrowed my friends silkie Roo to cover my silkie hens.You borrowed a rooster? Are you wanting to get some fertile eggs for brooding or to incubate?
What a beautiful pastel rainbow!17 eggs today, which includes 2 silkie eggs. Not sure what’s up with my silkies they are normally very reliable mostly every day layers when not broody. But they are 3 yrs old now so I guess they are slowing up.
One of the pink eggs has been very chalky and brittle - I have my suspicions as to who is laying that one so she is getting calcium tablets. I am hoping she just goes through a moult stops laying and resets her system.
Those brittle eggs go back to the chooks to enjoy.
My polish x silkie pullet has been laying her pretty pink eggs for a couple weeks now but her eggs remain very tiny, even smaller than the silkie eggs.
