    Americaunas are a type of Easter Egger. Easter Eggers aren't really a breed... more a classification or description of chickens that lay multicolored eggs. She looks like an Americauna to me if that helps :)

    Show off your Privacy Curtains !!!

    This isn't mine but I found it on Instagram. I think privacy curtains are a great idea! We have nesting boxes, but I love the idea of curtains!

    Soft-shelled egg

    That is normal in beginner-layers. All but one of my chickens have had a few soft-shelled eggs when they started laying. Hope this helps!

    Buff Orpington, 4 wks

    I would say cockerel. For reference, this is what my Buff Orpington looked like at 6 weeks old. Hope this helps!
