AMERICANA?

[Dianahhrn]

Too early to tell gender IMHO. Polish are very different than EE, but I really enjoy mine. They are surprisingly good layers of smallish white eggs. Little risk of going broody, too.

so really small eggs? How do you adjust them for cooking and such?

So, to clarify... were you looking for the actual breed known as ameraucana? or Americana otherwise known as easter eggers....?

Guess I didn't pay attention to the spelling. Thanks for the tip.....

Well, just takes time for them to get the egg size going, more so than other breeds I have in my experience. Mine have been laying for about 5 months and their eggs are between 30-40 grams. My silkies lay a little bit bigger. They make great deviled eggs, perfect bite size. We normally use 3 for every 2 normal sized eggs in cooking/baking, seems to work.

Thanks for the help. Now I see two of the three have perky tail feathers and one does not. Would you think this means two boys and one girl?

Red arrow to girl? Yellow to the boys. Thanks!
