Finally have all the girls laying and still need to buy "white" eggs for the kids to color. Unless theirs a way to dye the brown ones I'm unaware of...

You can dye brown eggs, they just look different, try a few.

I love to dye the brown ones! They have a pretty vintage feel to them instead of the neon colors.

Awesome! I was just guessing they wouldn't take the color well

One of the guys from the garage that I hang out with stopped by tonight. He was pretty amazed by the chickens. How big they were. How pretty they were. How tame they were. The the kicker was when I called them by name and they came running.

Lucy, my EE, jumped up in my arms for her special attention. Imagine the surprise of man who had only ever seen chickens in a bucket or at the store. But despite the amazement, he was still afraid to pet her.

My Easter Eggers are super emo and want nothing to do with any kind of attention, lol. They have the eye makeup to go with the 'tude.

I just gave someone from Clinton , MI two Roos and I think they are white leghorns. We kept one.

Clinton is my neck of the woods here.

Had bit of an issue today. I had my morning routine interrupted today, and when I got home I let my girls out for their free ranging time. Only thing is I didn't realize how late it was and about time for me to go to work. Usually I leave them out for about an hour or so and then they're ready to go back into their tractor. Belle and me had a heck of a time getting them back rounded up when they were sure they had more time to be out to do their chicken stuff.

I got a call today for ALL of my eggs for Easter coloring. They are all shades of brown. All 20 dozen of them. LOL
