7 day total: 8 green (5S,3L), 32 brown (22S,10L)

It occurs to me that I should be looking at production as 4 green egg layers, 11 brown egg layers - so roughly 3 brown eggs per green egg.
3:13 is close (3 day total) ... (7 day total) 8:32 is showing green layers are not up to brown layer's productivity on a weekly basis

1 large green layer, 4 large brown layers: Large egg ratio is 1:4
3 small green layers, 7 small brown layers: Small egg ratio is 3:7 1:2+1/3

3:10 L, 5:22 S is past week ratios. small green egg layers are behind small brown... production is about half what brown layers are doing. large Egg ratio looks good, Americauna may be over producing the brown layers (RIR and SLW)

2:9, 1:4... large egg ratio for past 3 days is on target...

Expecting more green eggs today.
So far no more green eggs. 3 more brown eggs since initial post.

3 day total: 3 green (2S,1L), 14 brown (10S,4L)
7 day total: 10 green (7S,3L), 29 brown (21S,8L)

The brown layers are doing well - 11 brown eggs in past 2 days. Americaunas... well I think the pullets are still coming into production... Weekly production seems to be 10/11 green eggs, from 4 hens. 29 eggs from 11 brown layers... that's shy of 3 eggs per hen per week. At full production each hen should lay 4-6 eggs per week.

Here's what I wrote on january 9 about production:
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.

Past week I had 21 small brown eggs (full production is 27+) and 8 Large ...
7 small green, 3 large green.

clipping wings today, some of the younger hens are roaming.

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.

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

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!

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.

I reviewed production from 2008, specifically when the new pullets came into production - looks like they came on about 6 months after hatching. So barring photocycle effects should be 9 pullets laying small eggs - 6 brown, 3 green. Not there yet.

1 green (1S), 1 brown (1L)
Well I called it yesterday, some of the June cohort is laying.

Just about 6 months after chicks hatched they started laying, even with the low photo cycle.

1 brown (1S)

I'm interested to figure out which hen(s) are now laying. This new production is surprising, suspicion is that the young cohort has a hen or two that are laying. If that's the case I expect to find some small green eggs soon as the young americaunas begin laying.
