Just wanted to share an updated pic of Cheeks, our hatchery blue Ameraucana. She is very naughty, always getting into places she shouldn't be:

An updated pic of "Cheeks" my Blue Ameraucana. Not the best but she was more interested in hunting ants than posing for pics.

I have a Pekin and a Swedish and they both lay super huge, cream-colored eggs. The first week or so of laying though the bloom on the Swedish's was so dark it made the eggs a dark gray. On the noise maybe it depends on the breed? My Pekin way out-talks my Swedish...to the point where I...

As fair warning, ducks are SUPER messy. And loud. I don't know it that is an issue for you or not.

Impossible for deviled eggs, the shells are too thick, and they are a little rubbery for egg salad. Scrambled I can't tell a difference from chicken eggs and they are excellent for baking. Very moist cakes. :)

Oh, I hope mine lays such pretty blue eggs! My EE lays the olive-ish ones, which is cool in and of itself but I always wanted blue eggs!

You can hatch Trader Joes eggs? Now I want to try, I have a hen that wants to be broody right now...

Yes, I'm getting them mostly as pet "with benefits" LOL. I am a hobby urban farmer I guess would be the best way to describe it. I am really hoping for a blue egg. I have an EE already who lays a light olive egg. She is also beardless, and I love the fluffy faces that some get. I ended up...

Tell me about Ameraucanas!! I had ordered 5 mixed "rare breeds" from Meyer this summer, but a coon got in our garage and killed them all. DH is feeling guilty about it so told me I could order 5 "pet" chickens for this spring. I already have an EE, 3 RIR, 2 barred rocks, and 2 white rocks...
