    Blue Egg w/ White Speckles—Who’s Laying It?

    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.

    How interesting, thank you for the tip! What should I look for with the ear lobe? They all seem to have white ear lopes but I haven’t looked closely.

    Is this a Prairie Bluebell Egger?

    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.

    Chickens are eating Styrofoam!!! HELP!!!

I just lost a healthy girl out of nowhere (it took only 2 days) and am almost positive it was because she had eaten some styrofoam type insulation from the outside of our house. That insulation is VERY different than your basic styrofoam cup. (Obviously because...
