My first hatch of the year starting hatching this morning. The Polish always come out first!

How cute! I just had my first hatch (ever)....it was horrible! Shipped eggs from in-state, 6 Ameraucana and 6 BO: 3 of the AMs and 5 BOs made it to lock-down. All three AMs came out first and are cute as a button (one week old today). Only 3 of the 5 BOs hatched and all three were deformed and had to be culled Just set a new batch-Danish Browns (shipped)and some more BOs and EEs (courtesy of @citygirlinthecountry)

Where did you get your Ameraucaba eggs?

eBay....should have got my lazy butt in the car and drove to Nashville instead and bought them off someone local. I'm sure there are plenty of local people who have them. The ones I got are from Wheaten stock. I would have rather had something different. I think someone around here has some blues.....

I Lavender and splits and Wheaten and Blue Wheaten Ams. BUT I only have one wheaten hen so got to build my flock up first. I got 2 eggs in a row from her. That was a first in a few weeks. Let see if she keeps it up.

I now have three laying... got 7 eggs in 3 days. I know for sure my Ameraucana is not laying yet though. Just brown eggs for now. Have caught my Jubillee Orp and both Dominiques in the act! Wish my Ameraucana would hurry it up already!

You know your am could be an EE and they can lay brown eggs......

I doubt it. I got her from a backyard breeder who had hers in separate pens from her Doms, BBS Ameraucanas and I saw hr setup and the egg she came from which was blue green.

She has slate legs and is black. She has a nice beard too. Her comb still is pink and she's never squatted. I don't ever see her in the coop, so I think she's just taking extra long.

But I guess you never really know till you know. Have to wait and see.
