Ok, need opinions. I'm selling some EE eggs and some of the ameracuna eggs while they obviously won't hatch to be completely either one the buyer is aware. The thing is i was asked about EE color and i can honestly say i don't flipping know! They used to be green but she's doing butt magic now sooo.View attachment 1264911What color is the egg on the left to y'all? The ameracuna is on the right. It looks gray to me.
It’s like that dress color question. Was it black and blue or white and gold? My backyard mix girl lays a pinkish egg. I can only tell by putting it next to a white egg. Sometimes her eggs are more pink then others. My two wheaten Ameraucanas lay two different colors. One is slightly greener. Again I can only tell by putting them side by side.

Why dustbathe in the box mom provided. We can do it behind the waterer and fling shaving in it instead!

For what it's worth, I saw the dress as white & gold.

Mine refuse to use the dust boxes too!
Mine toss straw into the dust area I set up. I had my molting puffer dusting in a pile that consisted of dirt, dried poop, & crushed up feed that she unearthed from the piles of straw in the coop. So gross.. but I guess all dirt is worm poop so it's ok.
 
So I’ve mentioned my gimpy girl before. I started a thread on her a while back. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/hen-wont-use-one-leg.1195948/
When she molted she was having a hard time so I let her be. She now hops. I’m going to update her thread but thought I’d ask you guys too.

Her leg skin close to her scales and more towards the inside is swollen and fluid filled. Her skin is thick and flakey in some areas.

Thoughts? What the tater is going on!?!
 
(your eyes are broken)
Yes, yes they are, but my eye dr reassured me that I *should* never go blind, so there's that.
