Silkie hens are not prolific layers. They typically produce between 100-120 small cream or white eggs per year. They often start laying later than most breeds, usually between 7-9 months of age. Their strong broody instinct can interrupt laying cycles frequently, which makes them less reliable as consistent egg producers.
