    I think maybe one of my "Ameracauna" hens may have some of that in her mix. She has Ameracauna; muff & beard are obvious and she lays blue eggs, but after she molted she wasn't a solid buff anymore. Some of her feathers came back in with black on them.

    I realize that's what I grew up with, even though the free ranger we bought them from claimed Aracauna, from Chili, SS. They laid 🔵 💚 🩷 and 🟤 eggs. My little EE lays green 💚 eggs. The other two lay light 🩵, when they lay.

    I'm happy that my Easter Egger (previously believed to be an Ameracauna) is laying again. She only took 2 months off to molt and recoup; now back at it. The other two still breaking, since September. Fingers still crossed. 😏

    You all so great! I love all the info, hints & advice. It looks like my hens will be able to come out tomorrow :wee. It's supposed to get up to 52°.

    Thanks Debbie. Appreciate your input. I might look into that for next year. We'll probably be getting 3 more hens in June on Hen Day at the Hatchery. Before I acquire them I will be sweeping the coop out completely & starting over fresh.

    Well, it looks like we're hitting our cold spell. Which means I won't be opening their door at all. And I'll be out their 💩 picking in their coop. I usually go in once a week to do 💩 picking. I use a grabber & half gallon bucket. I have severe arthritis in my back, neck, hips & knees, so I have...

    Nothing from me this year. Our winter is behind the times. We had one day with a light sprinkling of snow about a week or so ago. Gone within 4 hours. We are due for snow on January 2nd. Wait & see. ;)

    Topic of the Week - Heat Sources: Yes or No?

    Once or twice a week in cold months I sprinkle chili powder or cumin on their feed. A little cinnamon on the off days. It helps warm them up from the inside out & will kill internal parasites if they're present.

    No eggs in weeks

    I only have 3 hens (Bantam Ameracaunas). The 2 blue egg layers stopped laying (not sure which was laying, or if they were trading off) in September. The green egg layer laid until mid-November. Currently none are laying. I still love them too, but my son says they better start laying by Spring...
