Easter Egger club!

Finally, I got my first blue egg.

I know first eggs aren't the best to hatch but it's going into the new years day hatch.

So finally one of my girls who was molting is done! This is what I got it's like a light greenish color (hard to tell from picture) we thought she was a true amerucauna but maybe she is just an EE either way it's pretty!!

My girls are on a roll this week. First I get my first blue egg and then today my first olive egg. It is an extra large so it must be from the old rescue hens I got awhile back.

I have 4 chickens, and 2 are Ameracuanas. Love them. They have the sweetest temperment. The other two (Buff Oprington and Rhode Island Red) are the dominant hens. I was concerned that the EE were not laying eggs when the other two were easily giving me one egg each a day since mid-September. I noticed that the EEs combs and faces were not a deep red as they others laying. Concluded that they were maturing a bit later. So I waited. and I was rewarded in mid-November. One EE egg is laid daily from the two.

But I was not ready for the first BIG egg. The blue green egg weighed 3 oz while the other brown ones were 1.7 oz. That was a bonus egg. The daily egg is 2 oz. I'm blessed with these daily gifts.

both of my EE's decided to molt! they were born in April and it has been 14-20 degrees here. Poor girls. No eggs and now they are losing their clothes! This is probably why they stopped laying.

. Maybe I should knit them sweaters...
My Ameracauna has not layed an egg yet and she is probably seven months old. She has looked at the nests and even gotten in them a couple of times lately, but no blue eggs...I wonder if she will ever lay.

Congrats on the egg Insanity and Mybackyard girls

It is comforting to hear that others are having the problems too but really, why start to change your feathers in December in mid MIchigan no less??? that isn't very smart of them My wheaten EE girl just stood in the snow like she was frozen..wouldn't move. She had no problem allowing me to pick her up and warm up her feet, poor thing. Normally they all are not used to be held.

She and her sister are have lost a lot of their fluff under their wings and tail feathers are gone now....t
