Just wondering........is it possible for a 'true' Ameraucana, (with blue legs,) to lay light brown eggs?????? I have 2 true Ameraucanas.............one I got in May '09......as a young pullet (4-5 weeks old), and another I got in August, as a 4-5 week old. They are in a mixed flock of 8.............and I have not yet gotten a blue or blue/green egg. I haven't witnessed 'anyone' actually laying an egg...............not the Sussex, or Golden Comet, or Marans, or the EE...... let alone the Ameraucanas. But all I find in the nest boxes are chocolate brown (Marans), brown and light brown eggs. Is it possible the Ameraucanas are not laying yet? (1 of them is 8 months old, and the other is probably 5 1/2 months old) Or is it also possible they are not laying blue, blue/green eggs? Could they be laying 'non-blue' eggs? Or is it possible they will never lay an egg at all???????
These are NOT EE's..............but true Ameraucanas. (I have 1 EE and 2 true Ameraucanas.......from breeder)
I don't know about Ameracaunas, but some EEs do lay pink eggs and have blue legs.... The 5 month old is probably not laying yet? Right here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/breeds/ameraucanas.html it says they can lay brown.
