Hi, I've lurked too long! I live in West Tennessee, and currently have 8 hens: Three hybrid Orphington-Leghorns born Feb. 4, 2012 have been consistently laying since june. I have 3 Silver-Laced Wyandottes hatched May 15, 2012 and one of those just began laying. Finally I have two EE-Amerucanas, one of which laid my first tinted egg today...a beautiful blue one... and I was so excited I had to sign up, sign in, and fess up, so that I could tell somebody.
