Ameraucana's are beautiful birds and lay about 4-6 eggs a week. Although, they are very aggressive
very shy and run away immediately once they see you coming. They eggs are the best part of the Ameraucana mainly because they come in green,blue, and other colors (are's lay green eggs).
Pros: Funny looking, excellent egg layers, and excel at being Ornamental.
Cons: They lay farely small eggs and came short tempered because of the feathers on its head.
I have a Polish that's about two years old and she's the greatest! She lays 6 to 7 eggs a week but alas to make up for that she wasn't held much when she was little to she is jumpy and runs away when I come to pick her up. I also heard they Excel in being ornamental and appear great in chicken 4h. I would suggest these chickens to anyone there ornamental,egg layers,funny, intelligent, and docile.
Pros: They lay just about every day of the week they're perfect egg layers!
Cons: Not the greatest at Ornamental activities.
Rhode Island Red are awesome sweet chicken that you most definitely should have! I have five Rhode Island Reds and they lay about 5 to 6 times a week (most of them do but some don't even lay!). I would not suggest for them to be ornamental birds and meat birds too. If your looking for egg layers this a chicken you NEED to get!
