I dyed eggs the way I've always done it, by using a mix of food dye, white vinegar, and hot water. This is the first time I've had eggs from my own flock to use. I washed them off with a little bit if Dawn dish soap first, and for some reason, the eggs came out sort of speckled. You can see it best in the blue egg. Sort of interesting. I accidentally dropped a glass measuring cup on the eggs, which is why there's some cracking. Turned out pretty yummy.
