Her picture was taken when she was 16 weeks old. Im so excited first egg ever from my first chicken ever!

Hello from Granma in Costa Rica. Having a rough time right now with my egg production, but there have been several stressors!

My first few days of eggs from three of my four hens back in March -- big brown "eggs of steel" which were x-large nearly from start from New Hampshire Red Lucy (aka Lucy-fer) and the pale green and pinkish brown (they got bigger 2nd and 3rd day) are from what were supposed to be Ameraucana sisters, but considering their eggs, they must be hybrids. Getting those first eggs was so exciting and must admit it's still a thrill to find 3 or 4 every day now! I love these little girls!

KOOL!! where did you get your ameraucannas? Or are the EE's?

Well, I was sold the "Ameraucanas" by a gal on a farm north of here in Petaluma, California -- she has a billion chickens, turkeys, sheep, horses, and whatnot -- what a great place! She told me they were Ameraucana sisters because they have green legs, although otherwise they look nothing a like!

I have since found out elsewhere that this isn't correct and that they're probably hybrids or easter eggers. The one laying the pale green eggs looks quite a bit like an Ameraucana with those ear muffs and similar markings, but her sister looks much more like the Buff Brahma I got at the same time -- same colors and markings, similar heads too, but she doesn't have the feathered legs -- I kind of wonder if they're not the sisters and the chicken lady didn't get mixed up! Who knows....but they're all sweeties, even the sometimes evil Lucy-fer, my little red boss hen!

We are SOOOOO excited! Joey, our science project chick from a Trader Joe's refrigerated fertile egg, laid her own first egg this afternoon. She is 19 weeks and 1 day old. We believe she is a Hy-Line W 36. It is a 1.3 oz white egg.
