The Ghost of Captain Blackbeard started laying today. About a week after her sister. Her sister's is on the bottom right and hers is the bottom left. Can't get a good color showing, but its dark green! Not quite olive, lol

what are you feeding them?

is it still winter where you live?

I would lay off the layer feed until all of them are laying regularly (not being broody or molting or taking a seasonal break) Just be sure to have crushed oyster she'll available to them all the time and they will tale what they need instead of being forced to eat too much when they don't need it.

why are they eating layer feed if they aren't all laying?

thinking feline?

what are you feeding them? They just started laying, right?

mine hatched the 13 of March, and just got my first egg from this group I think Tuesday. Then an egg a day after she took one day off. Her sisters are all squatting and singing egg song, I'm on nest duty to see if they lay one, I wanna know who lays what! Another pleasant surprise, my buff...

glad to hear she's not just broken lol

it's kind of a pinky color, can't really describe it, lol. Her father was an actual Ameraucana, so that means the woman I got her from needs to cull that cock, but she has no way of separating them to figure out which one it is. I'm still very happy with it, gives a great addition to the egg...

maybe both? (Production red? I thought those weren't as dark though) she's beautiful and a good layer for 1.5 years, so...who cares! (Hope that's taken the right way)

Oh, forgot to mention that one of my E'S started laying. Here's one of her eggs. It's the small 9th on the right, next to my RSL who has been laying for about 1.5 months.

I think they need a space between them?

the OP (ok) and his chicken (Roger)...The reason for this thread.

that's really odd. Most places should/would take them. Maybe ask a local church or mosque (or temple, if you have them) if they could give them to hungry families. There has to be down on your luck people where you live.

I was almost expecting you to find a whole egg, shell and all, inside! Some chickens have been selectively bred/engineered to lay as many as 2 eggs per day as their norm. 24 hours is just the "average" from my understanding. Why do you burn the old eggs? Just how old are they? Why not cook...

feeding nonlaying birds layer is asking for trouble. It causes renal problems and even if it is not prolonged enough to kill the bird, it still causes damage. Even hens that are taking a break due to daylight or molt.

One of my Ameraucana crosses squatted for me today. They are such BIG birds compared to my red sex link and other easter egger!

the moon was red early yesterday evening.

That's not fair to them. IMHO. The Hawks won't leave. If you want to be extra certain your chickens are safe, build them a covered run, otherwise youll be taking the chance. Some people hang reflective tape and CDs to cause flashes of light as a deterrent. I guess that's another option.
