I have a hen laying blue eggs with beautiful white speckles, and I can’t tell whether it’s coming from my Ameraucana or my Easter egger.
Which do you think is more likely?? Ameraucana or EE? I was thinking EE because of the mix of breeds but don’t understand enough about egg genes to hypothesize.
Came here to see egg pics too! Just had 3 new Ameraucana and Crème Legbar new blue layers today confirm that my leghorn/blue layer cross was the brightest blue we’ve had yet. Curious about others.
Any update @newbiefarmgirl ? I am having the exact same issue and have been wondering if it’s a free range vs coop/run (environmental) difference? I’d love to hear if your daughter’s hens started laying again and also what your prevailing theories are as to why they stopped while your free...
I purchased some chicks in September and got the prettiest blue egg today. I thought I had only one prairie bluebell, but there is no way she’s laying yet. Is it possible this pullet (photo attached—big brown/black one in front) is also a prairie bluebell?? She definitely acts ready to lay and...

Thank you so much. I have her in the bathtub now. I assume I need the water to get pretty high to reach where the eggs come out? I literally know nothing about chicken anatomy. I don’t know where to reach to check if there is an egg there. Do you think based on what I described that she is egg...
Here are some photos. I took a short video to show her backside looking like it is “breathing” in and out but don’t think I can post it here. Thank you so much for your help!! 🙏🙏🙏
I need help with my approx. 8-9 month old red sex link hen. She is normally a great layer but has not laid in at least a few days.
