I watched a youtube video
all about ameraucanas and she says all these bad things about the breed that makes me think maybe I made a mistake in choosing them! She said they hate being confined (our run is probably 100 sq ft?) and that they don't lay. (Or she has had problems trying to get them to lay)... We can't free range, and we were obviously hoping for eggs. We just got 6 ameraucana chicks. (although - they're just from IFA so they are probably really EE, some of them have green legs). So maybe since the ones I got aren't pure ameraucanas, I'll be ok? Or am I screwed lol? Please tell me she is wrong haha! What has your experience been with this breed? She also said she had rhode island reds and that they didn't lay well. I had read that those are great layers. We got one of them to try to get a few more eggs since I know the EE don't lay a ton per year. So what the heck?
