We will actually be dying eggs this year. It hasn't happened since we moved into this house 4 years ago, but we are going to this year because we actually have TIME! We don't really need to color eggs because our chickens do such a great job of it, but I've always wondered how some of these will look colored, so I am anxious to find out. Here's a shot of some after I rinsed them off the other day, we've had so much rain we end up with muddy eggs.
On a side note (people are touchy these days so I feel the need to clarify a lot of things - probably not necessary here, but... ) we have been sharing several dozen eggs a week with others who can't get eggs right now. We have only kept what our family will use (and we haven't been using as many as we used to). We have given away 14 dozen eggs in the past week (and 2 dozen duck eggs). |
Cool eggs! When we moved to this house, I suggested that we get some chickens. I was only half serious and we didn't. Now I'm wishing we had! We go through a lot of eggs. I've always tried to keep two 18 packs in the fridge at a time. With the stores being out of eggs recently and now our county is under "shelter in place" orders, I don't want to leave for the grocery store very often. And I don't want to use our "eating" eggs to dye. I have friends that have chickens and it's making me really consider it now! Hopefully the "fake eggs" will work out well for my youngest son.
I think this weekend I'll get out our Easter decorations. (I still have a Valentines hearts to take down! lol)
