I'm a newbie here and even after living on a farm as a kid I'm still at times confused.
Mom has 15 Ameraucanas that started laying eggs about a month or two ago. they're less than a year old and since we went from a few old hens and an old rooster, I went ahead and expanded the chicken run to include a 12'x 23' foot with a roof over for shade. I figured they would slow down laying eggs with expansion going on next to them but its been a week since the new addition was done and today Mom brought in one little egg. We know it wasn't from the Ameraucanas either. This one was white. So are they still stressed? or did I spoil them too much or what?
Thanks.
