Great! My two pullets just started laying this week also. It will be time to make splits soon. Their first pullet eggs are the size of my 3 year old Lav's eggs. I will be holding my breath to see how much the size increases.So happy to get my first lavender Ameraucana egg since November 3rd! It is going in the incubator next weekend. I hope I get a few more.

One of my lavs has sour crop, I think.
She was drinking a lot, threw up a ton of water, and now has no interest in food or water.
I syringe fed a tiny bit of yogurt and olive oil. Thinking about trying monistat on her tomorrow.
First off, welcome to the wonderful world of Rare Breed chickens!Well folks I have just taken the plunge. I have ordered my Lavender Amercannas . I ordered from some one the first time and got no chicks after weighting 7 months I had to cancel. I have now ordered again. I hope to get my chicks soon.
The first time I ordered was the first time I ever ordered chicks. I am sure it was my fault but being a newbie I it is very hard to understand what may be elementary to you folks who may have done this several times. In the past I have owned and shown American Saddle Horses , Morgans ,Arabs,and have handled many and various breeds of dogs . I know in every genera there are rules and I try to follow those rules. Please have patience with Newbies ,we want to learn and are dedicated to that process just as much as you are.
If some one held a puppy or a horse I had paid 7 months I would be livid! Possibly this is not the case in chickens . I do not know what expectations I should have within what bounds? I would like feed back but please be gentle with me and let me learn.
