I boiled a dozen of our eggs this morning. Okay, so boiling eggs isn't all that exciting, but they came from our own hens and just looked so pretty in the bowl. We have 10 black sex-links (a hybrid), 9 Rhode Island Reds, and 5 Easter eggers (Auracana mix).
If you aren't familiar with the various types of hens and the eggs they lay here's the story:
Rhode Island Reds (RIR's) lay varying shades of brown egss, as do the black sex-links. Auracanas lay green to blue eggs. Our are Easter eggers, which are Auracanas mixed with something else. There are so many other kinds, some of which lay almost bronze colored eggs. Hmmm, we need to add to the flock next year...
All of a sudden I have a craving for an egg salad sandwich! LOL
ReplyDeletethose eggs do look great! When I was growing up we had chickens but they laid boring white eggs.
