Isn't one of them laying?

Yes one laid an egg over Passover. I wasn’t able to feed my chickens their regular feed over Passover for religious reasons so I was feeding them lettuce & butternut squash and letting them forage in the yard most of the days. I assumed that once I switched them back to their chicken feed it would be some time before they got back into laying.
I got an Araucana egg today!

Yup it sure is bluer but not totally blue.
Here it is compared to an Ameraucana egg.

My EE (Ameraucana x Leghorn) Mutton Chops lays a HUGE pure blue egg...and she's just a tiny little thing!

Yeah she was wondering if I had brought treats.

After Mama and BB lay it will be darn near a full house!

I went ahead and put in some older eggs that were 10+ days old.
