Ameraycana chickens can lay their blue eggs all year long. The Ameraucana was developed in the United States and the name is a combination of American and Araucana. They come in large and bantam varieties, and the recognized colors are Black, Blue, Blue Wheaten, Brown Red, Buff, Silver, Wheaten and White.
They will start laying anywhere around 5-6 months. Sometimes chickens can take longer - even up to 8 months!
Chickens lay eggs all the time, but these are not usually fertilised. When a cockerel mates with a hen, the eggs become fertilised and then, if the hen sits on them or if they are incubated, chicks will hatch.
no they lay eggs THEY DON'T!! but some chickens lay eggs that turn into chicks over time
in spring
Mornings!!
Ameraucana chickens are fairly early maturing and can start laying their first eggs at around 7 months old. They are known to be average to above average layers. Production will slow during molt. Egg production will peak after the first molt at around 14 months old and will decrease about the time the bird reaches its second year. Eggs may be produced into the third year but usually stop completely sometime during that third year.
They lay eggs when they feel safe and are not crowded by too many eggs.
no, they do it when excited or feeding time.
The answer is chickens,because eggs come out of chickens.So the scientific method would be chickens were first. Except that eggs were being laid a long, long time before chickens existed and eggs is listed first in the question.
Yea it just takes them a longer time than chickens to lay eggs
yes, they do. it keeps the egg warm for the time being.
No. Actually it is the opposite. Chickens stop or at least slow egg laying when they go into a moult. Moulting is a renewal of feathers and the chicken puts much of its nutrition and energies into making new feathers during this time. Moulting takes place usually months after the hens start to first lay eggs. She will reduce her egg laying for the time she is moulting.
The hen sits on the eggs for 21 days, and during that time, she turns them for 18 days. The chickens usually hatch at 18-21 days, but I've had chickens hatch at 21-25 days sometimes. The eggs have to fertilized, and not too old by the time she starts to sit. Make sure she is in a nice dry and warm place as well.
