I want to see if the different onion skin colors will give different results later.

Hubby said I should have bought a dozen white eggs to dye alongside the blue.

I'll use some of the few olive eggs next time as well. I only did one egg that wasn't blue

Nice looking Easter eggs very inventive.
I’m on my second broody now one Marans and a Welsummer guess they haven’t noticed it’s still kind of cold out. I might set some eggs under them the Marans is pretty dedicated the other one just started today but she sounded like a evil witch when I took the eggs what a noise.

Probably closer than others here Thank you had you actually ever ordered from there ?

I haven’t ordered from them directly but they are aware a local feed store gets their chicks. I have gotten good chickens from them. And only one ended up being a rooster. Luckily I was able to find him a good home.

Red is beet. Dark red/brown is cooked in yellow onion skin. Orange is dyed in just the onion skin water. Yellow is turmeric. Blue is red cabbage.

All over blue eggs.

I got one of those tiny little eggs from one of my chickens today. I thought those only came from very young chickens when they first started to lay. But I guess not.

The two little pullet eggs I got were from my five month olds I get up to 5 a day so far, I have 9 of them 2 Legbar x marans, 1 Legbar x coockoo marans, 1 splash blue icebar and 5 cream Legbar
