Ameraucanas

[aestus_lux]

I recently purchased some ameraucanas, I was wondering, how many eggs to expect from the pure birds, I also have EE's and I know they could potentially lay more depending on their crosses...thanks in advance

I also just purchased Ameraucana. I have 7 ameraucana chicks and 2 aucana chicks. I read on hendersons breed chart that they are very good layers. I'm thinking that I will have a lot of pretty colored eggs. Heres the link.

I find that my purebred Ameraucanas are excellent layers, as are my two EE ladies.

I agree, our 3 Americauna are consistent solid layers

my one hen lays 1 egg a day, most of the time. if she skips a day she will lay 2 the next day. most of the time i get about 5 or 6 eggs a week.

That's the gist of what I get from the folks on here, but I wondered because on several lists I've seen on other sites, they are listed as less than solid layers. Thanks for the help.

Do have an idea about eggs/per week on then Ameraucanas? I sell at farmers markets, and need to plan my hatches so keep enough for my egg needs, while hopefully still being able to keep a large flock of my pure ameraucans

A breeder I found on here in the buy sell trade. Quail hollow p&p, beautiful birds. they have good lines in all of their breeds, and all are gorgeous and healthy. I'd also be able to sell some after a hatch or two
