1 green (1S), 3 brown (2S,1L)
3 day total: 2 green (2S), 9 brown (5S,1M,3L)
7 day total: 4 green (4S), 20 brown (14S,2M, 4L)
2 dozen eggs in past week.
I'm wondering when the other americaunas will start laying. Looking at the 3 day totals it's clear that the brown layer pullets are producing pretty well. Green layers are slacking.

3 brown (2S,1M)
3 day total: 1 green (1S), 9 brown (6S,1M, 2L)
7 day total: 3 green (3S), 20 brown (14S,2M,4L)
Current flock:
5 SL Wyandotte (3 pullets, 2 8 years)
5 RI Reds (3 pullets, 1 2 years, 1 8-9 years)
4 Americauna (3 pullets, 1 8 years)
1 Barred Rock (2 years)
Full Production (should happen March/April time frame):
6 small brown layers - 36 hour cycle -> 24 eggs/6 days
3 small green layers - 36 hour cycle -> 12 eggs/6 days
2 medium brown layers - 36 hour cycle -> 8 eggs/6 days
4 large brown layers - ?? cycle - 48 hours? 12 eggs/6 days
1 large green layer ??
Should be on the order of 44 brown eggs and 12 green eggs per week. call it 5 dozen eggs per week. That's a lot of quiche!

2 brown (1S,1L)
3 day total: 1 green (1S), 8 brown (6S,2L)
7 day total: 3 green (3S), 15 brown (12S,3L)
I'm wondering when there will be more green eggs. 3 Americauna pullets, so far only one laying. Plumage on two has more marked tail feathers and some cheek feathers, but not out of line with the older hen. No wattle signs that any of them might be cockerels.
So there should be 3 green eggs every two days soon.
