Quote: That's odd - they laid one egg and no more since? How old are they? I thought you said they were born in March - but that would make them only 6 months old - barely old enough to be laying, and not from breeder stock. Or are the Lavenders a different age?
Mine were born February 26th of this year, and I have not seen any eggs from them, and their combs are still light pink. I do not expect any eggs for at least another month. The boys are still practicing crowing - two have started, two have not.
Quote:Are you SURE yours are Ameraucanas and not Easter Eggers? Two different birds. Go look at the Easter Egger thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/273489/the-ee-braggers-thread/12300#post_11812607 Chipmunk chicks with brown and yellow very seldom are Ameraucanas - unless they are Silver and those are not very common. I don't think my EEs are ugly though - they are partridge patterned and can get really fancy. They also have started introducing blue(gray) to the hatchery stock, I think its pretty!
