Fresh Eggs Color Study from Mar’s Neighbor’s Hens
They look as if they were dyed with food coloring for Easter.
They are not.
These eggs were a gift to Marlene from her neighbor when the family was visiting in Hardy, Virginia. The variety of colors in the shells was amazing to me. And they tasted delicious.

I wonder what the chickens had been eating for them to come out that colour.
Mother nature – pretty damn amazing!

I’ve been buying my eggs this year at the farmers markets and one vendor’s eggs look very much like those that were given to you. It’s a bit of a surprise to open the carton and see so many pastel colors.

I wonder what makes others light brown, and others darker brown. How did you cook them?

Different breeds of chickens lay different colors of egg shells.
