Ameraucana Momma They will lay all winter if you give them 14 hours of light and good layer food. They will take time off to molt but they will get right back to it if they have good light.

Do Ameraucana Chickens Lay Eggs Everyday? On the average, they produce 3-6 eggs a week, more in their first laying year. The exact amount they'll lay – and whether they lay consistently – will depend on their diet and environment.
Just the same, what age do Araucana chickens lay eggs? 20 - 24 weeks
In any manner, how long will my chickens lay eggs?
A: Chickens usually don't simply "stop" laying eggs when they get to a certain age, but they will lay fewer as they get older. That said, most laying breeds will lay more or less productively in backyard terms for five or seven years.
What is the name of the chicken that lays colored eggs?
Chickens that lay colored eggs include Barred Rock, Rhode Island Red, Welsummer, Maran and Easter Egger hens. No matter the color, hens need balanced nutrition to lay eggs with strong, protective shells.
Sadly, there is no chicken breed that lays truly purple eggs. If your eggs look purple, it's the bloom to blame. The bloom is a protective layer on the outside of the gg that helps prevent bacteria from entering the shell. It also helps the eggs stay fresh.
Many chickens love being given affection and one key way you can give it to them is by petting them. However, they usually only allow this type of contact once they get used to you and if you interact with them calmly and gently. ... With some calmness and care, you can pet almost any chicken you meet.
The novelty of the eggs is limited primarily to their color: the taste doesn't differ noticeably from the regular free-range eggs more commonly found at the market. Still, they're undeniably pretty and, more importantly, are absolutely delicious.
The blue color is caused by insertion of a retrovirus into the chicken genome, which activates a gene involved in the production of blue eggs. The Araucana, a chicken breed from Chile, and Dongxiang and Lushi chickens in China lay blue eggs.
The simplest answer to this is 'no'. Laying eggs is as instinctive to hens as perching and scratching. It's something they need to do, but they are not doing it with thoughts of hatching chicks, and will leave their egg as soon as it has been laid.
Worms can be picked up from the feces of other chickens or birds—including wild birds. Often insects act as the intermediate host by carrying the worm eggs, which are then deposited in the chicken after they ingest the insect. In general, worms can be found in the respiratory or intestinal tract.
