I bought 2 Ameraucana chicks from a reputable breeder as part of a flock of 6 diverse chickens (wyandotte, cuckoo maran, krainkoppe too). Anyway, when I went to look for eggs yesterday, one of the Ameraucanas was in the laying box - my access is from the back and I startled her, so she stood up. I could see the whole laying box and there was no egg in there. I sat and waited about 10 minutes and then checked again, and she had laid an egg.
A very pale tan egg!
Will this be the color ALWAYS, or will she eventually begin laying bluegreen eggs?
