the days are getting longer, but it’s February in the heartland. I’m getting 5-7 eggs a day from the other 10 hens. The amerucaunas do squat and hang around the nesting boxes, and I don’t think that they’re laying in some other area in the run, I’ve searched.
I have a small flock and most everyone is doing well, but my three black amerucauna chooks have not yet graced me with a blue egg. They are a little more skittish than my others (15 total; 4 barred rocks, 3 black laced Wyandotte & 1 roo; 3 black copper marans & 1 roo). Barred rocks are 2 years...
