We have two Ameraucanas (named Sparkle Heart and Sassafras), a Buff Orpington (Henrietta) and a Rhode Island Red (Isabella).

We have about 14 laying hens now and they lay anywhere from a light brown to blue to green to dark brown. Our egg cartons are always so beautiful!

@1fishfinatic3 Remember, true Ameraucanas should lay blue eggs. Otherwise they are just mutts.

finally, I know what kind of chickens my neighbor has. they had chicks exactly like the Ameraucanas and they moved out and left them behind so I had to catch them, and now I'm currently keeping them. They're pretty cool. I can't wait until they begin laying eggs.
