If you have more than one of that breed, did they all start laying around the same time?- SHE IS THE ONLY ONE OF FOUR

Size of egg- SMALL 1.45 OUNCES
(measuring diameter both ways with a sewing measuring tape would be great, or putting it next to a ruler for length, but identify the method used, please!)

We have two "Americauna"s and a RIR. They are approx 28 weeks (brought them home 26 weeks ago). We got our first egg - a mottled light olive one (middle) - on Dec 30th. Today there were two eggs - one from the RIR and I'm assuming the second egg from the same "Americauna". The chickens had been on developer feed until 10 days ago, when I switched them to Purina Layena. Should have done that earlier

Breed: "Americauna"
First egg: 28 weeks // other of same breed and age not yet laying
Color: not blue. I'd REALLY like blue eggs. sort of a light tan/olive
Size: small

Breed: RIR
First egg: 28 weeks
Color: brown
Size: small

I converted the first posts txt based table into a real spreadsheet table that is shared and available for all to edit on Google Docs:

I think you'll find this much easier to update.

Cheers!
