Definitly need to add Leghorns and Rhode Island Red's to that list. Big chicken does not always mean big egg. My leghorns are the smallest breed I have but lay the largest egg! My Blue Copper Marans lay jumbo eggs too.

Day 19 -----------------> 2 have hatched and 7 have pipped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have 37 total eggs in LG..

[http://www.ameraucana.org/standard.html] If the bloodlines came from Paul Smith stock then you have some great show quailty pure Ameraucanas. I got 16 blues, 4 black and 4 wheatens from him last year. They are amazing!

Your are right, IT GOES BY FAST! I set 42 eggs on the 23rd. This will be my 3rd hatch. The 1st hatch was a success with 85%. The 2nd hatch was a failure at 30% which I contribute to humidity dropping below 20% and temp to 95 degrees on day 12 after not shutting the lid correctly. I do have a...

I am in the same boat. All my pure Ameraucana pullets are at 8 months and still not laying! Yes, it is very frustrating.

I placed one of the roost too close to the wall. They crap-bomb the wall and runs all the way down!!!!! I corrected the issue very quickly.

I just got one yesterday!!!!!!! I'm going to cook it tomorrow for breakfast!

I had 2 leghorns that laid their first egg at 19 weeks! RIR's were right behind them at 21 weeks. BO's came in third at 24 weeks. My EE's started at 25 weeks. I started them on layer pellets at 18 weeks. Unfortunatly they are going through their first molt at the same time!!!! Getting 2 eggs...

It makes sense that the shorter days triggered their first molt. I have 5 different breeds and they are all going through the same thing! I hope they get over it quick. They need to earn their keep!

I have the same situation. I went from 18/day to 2/day. I did notice there are alot more feathers in the coop and run but they don't look too bad. If might be their first molt. I think maybe the weather change AND shorter days has affected them.

They are in heaven!

We are down from 18/day to 2/day! They don't seem to be molting. I'm wondering if its due to the weather change.

I had this happen the other day too! Very strange!

Quote: I believe the muffs and beard are incomplete dominate ; if I'm correct then if you don't see it the gene isn't there and those crosses will be clean faced . I think it *might* mean they only have one beard gene- so your chances are 1 in 4 of having a beard, but it would probably be a...

I just found out my clean faced Blue Ameraucana (EE) is a rooster! I know that I will not use for my breeding program but I was wondering if breeding him to my leghorns or RIR will I get bearded EE's? Basically do they still carry the muff/beard gene?

EE's for sure. You will not be disappointed.

My first egg layers were all morning layers between 10am and noon. I do have a few now that lay from 3pm to 5pm.
