So after waiting patiently for a few months, we finally got our first blue egg. One of our 4 Ameraucanas laid it yday outside in the run. It was very small. We get eggs from our Reds and Barreds, but we got our Ameraucana hens at younger ages. We think it was Buttercup. She is 20 weeks.
So now what? Should I expect an 'easter egg' daily like i expect eggs from my barreds and reds, or is it still going to be while til we get to that point?
Also, the egg was very small. I assume its becuase it is her first egg. Will her eggs get bigger over time?
Do I need to change diet or do anything differently now that she is a layer? I wasnt planning on it.
Lets hope the other 3 start laying as well....i want colored eggs! Thanks ahead of time for any helpful tips.
