My first Blue egg!!!!!!

[hippichick]

I bought a few hens this Summer who are supposed to be "Ameraucanas", but I'm pretty sure they're EEs. Anyway, no matter, I was just thinking they would never lay, and guess was I found in the laying box yesterday. A pretty blue egg. I can't tell you how excited we were! I think I'm hooked. Want more blue eggs.............

Thanks, Miss Jayne. I think she was more excited than I was. It is a pretty good size egg, too. The brown one on top is from my RIR, who is young and just started laying recently also, but the blue one is quite a bit larger.

I know. I'll hate to eat it. Once my hens start laying regularly, I'll put them with one of my roos. But for now, we'll just have to eat them.

Do you have EEs or Ameraucanas?? I thought these would never lay.

And yes, she does love the egg hunts. Her favorite part of the day, I think.
