Sally's don't come around like they did in my day... I think my siblings named me after that 1st grade reader "See Sally Run."

Sally B - I'd make more.... but darn it if I am not plum out of eggs having made a big batch of potato salad and a tray full of deviled eggs.... Those 3 chickens don't put out quite like I'd like to see 'em do. I'd like to see 2 eggs a day from each of 'em. But I don't think that will ever happen. I guess it's a good thing I have 5 new chicks being raised by my 10 yr. old niece. Next year, I'll be gettin' more than 2x as many. YIPPEE!!! The eggs have it!!

Hi, I just posted pics of my brown and EE eggs over on the recipe section if you want to check them out.

Oh WOW! Mary, those are beautiful!

why can't I find them? I tried to search for recipes submitted by MaryMac and you are not listed. I want to see too!!!

Forget that! I did find them. I was looking at the link at the top of the page 'Recipes'. I forgot about a topic. Having the 2 recipe sections is confusing. And they ARE beautiful!!

The eggs turned out cool looking. The colored devil eggs sound neat. Will have to try that.

We colored all shades of brown.

Here is our favorite way, the way mom Mom did when we were little: get a [used] nylon sock, put a nice looking piece(s) of grass on the egg (I wet them and stick) or a little something your kid cut out of paper (my dd cut hearts this year) or wrap elastic bands, put that egg into the sock, to the end. Make a knot. Put another egg with grass leafs or whatever you wish, make another knot. Etc. Although it might be easier to do about 3 eggs per sock. Then hard boil them in water with brown onion skins (put in cold water with onion skins, bring to boil and cook for about 7 minutes). Let cool at least a little bit. To get the eggs out easier you can cut the sock, unless you planned to reuse it. Nylon tights (pieces) work too. Color does not matter
