I just got these two hens yesterday. Can anyone tell me exactly what the one on the left is? Americauna or EE? She is about 5 months old.... Or so I have been told. Thanks a bunch!

It is normal for hens to stop laying when moved to a new place.The egg you got was already on its way.You really should isolate new birds in case they carry a disease not detected.Since you have had them six weeks or more you got lucky that they had no disease.Most times they do not.One bad experience and you will rethink the isolation issue.You need about 14 hours of daylight/lights to get eggs.Many flocks are molting now.

I would say they are medium.
They look tiny next to my Orpington eggs. On the scale they average medium weight.

 

[speckledhen]

It varies. My Cree Farms hens lay small to medium. My Cree and Rivergait cross hen lays a large.

Ok, BYCers, learn me something about these two girls... I have heard EE's and Ameraucana's. What's the difference? What's the scoop?
