Welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join our flock. A lot of us were lurkers before joining. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. What kind of hens do you have?
 
I have three Easter eggers or Americanas not shore, one well summer one cochin bantam one Japanese bantam and five Amberlinks (some sort of hybrid)

You have an interesting mix of breeds. Amerlinks are a cross between a silver gene rooster and a red gene hen (a reverse Red Sex Link) and they are excellent layers. If your EEs or Americauanas came from a hatchery (unless it was Meyer Hatchery), they are Easter Eggers. There is a good article explaining the differences between Ameraucanas, Araucanas, and Easter Eggers at http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html. EEs are my granddaughter's (pictured in my avatar) favorite hens. She loves their different colored eggs.
