Deena, How pretty your carton is! I am equally impressed with my very first carton of eggs! My Ameracauna's have done a great job I just put the last pink egg in the carton this morning. I just love having colorful eggs :-) Melisa

I just hung up with a woman I bought some chickens from that are not laying. She suggested that they were eating the eggs that they lay. I only have 6 hens bought them all from her (1 barred rock, 1 Orphington, 3 comets, 1 ameracauna). The Ameracauna is the only one that has layed eggs...

Did you find any other Ameracauna breeders? I am just over the state line in NC. Thanks, Melisa

HenThymes pretty birds for sure. I really am looking forward to getting past the 10 post requirement so I can send a pic of this suposed Orphington. She has some Orp features but her legs/feet are not white like yours. Melisa

We actually loaded a plastic easter egg and put a couple in the nesting box to encourage them all. A hurry up and wait game I guess thanks for the suggestion though Melisa

BHep we picked the Hens up on April 18th. Thank you looking forward to seeing my first babies. Conchickulations on your hatches! We have had them locked in the coop but as I type this hubby is cutting the door and ramp so they can go outside and free range, we will wait until tomorrow to...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I appreciate it. We were so anxious to get Hens after we built our coop that I went to the first ad on Craigs List that had adults posted. I came home with an assortment. After having them for over a week, I am about to throw in the towel on the red comets...

We just bought our first chickens a week ago. We are in Saluda NC, the corner of Hendersonville NC. Would love to chat with other chickeners :-) While we are new to chickens we have raised German Shepherds for 19 yrs Melisa
