This is her face close up

Definatly an Easter Egger. Ameraucanas don't come in the barring color and they don't have a single comb either. Very pretty tho!

Well whatever she is we love her and are excited for her egg color!!

13 eggs in 14 days from the only laying lady in my coop! Not a bad start to a long life of chicken having. And the EEs are just the sweetest things...

 

[iamfivewire]

not a bad start at all - sounds like a great start

My girls have been slacking!! Down to about 3/4 eggs a day from my 12 girls, (2 bantams, 5 ?) 5 Easter eggers are the ones laying. They don't seem to be molting (EEs) could they be slowing down because of the weather? (We have had some nicer days this week, 60/70 out, about 40 degrees at night. )

does anyone know what kind of breed my chicken is? (Dark brown on the right) she lays brown eggs.

Are you using supplemental light? If not, it may be the shorter days.

Must be the shorter days, we'll be getting electricity run to our 2 coops soon, hopefully they'll start laying more!

They need at least 14 hours to stimulate laying. We use a cheap walmart timer.
