Egg color story for TSC

[chiseal]

Hey all: I am doing a story for Tractor Supply Co. on adding some hens to flocks that lay colorful eggs and wanted to see if I could talk a family who has done this to act as a source about the joys and concerns. I have talked to a few hatcheries and will include some basic basic biologic info from USDA. This is a very light piece on Easter Eggers and other breeds who produce those lovely pastels and browns and burgundies. Anyone game? I promise easy peasy. I am also interested in getting some chickens for my backyard in Nashville (I think).

Thanks!
