Hi Sharm, The bigger breeds can sit on 13+ eggs easily, but little silkies are probably better suited up to 7 eggs. We were always lead to believe that hens sat better on an odd number of eggs - I dont know if that's true or not but we have always done it like that. If you need any more help chicken-wise, post it here, or have a noodle at the hencam.co.uk forum or backyardchickens.com - someone will be able to help you! Cheers, Neil
