Please sing along with me…Which of these things are not like the others?
After months of waiting and wondering, we finally plucked our first “easter” eggs. We’ve had a bounty of brown, a few pink, and now finally GREEN! I was so excited I jumped up and down and screamed like the girl I am! I’m such a geek.
These easter eggs are compliments of our Ameraucana chickens. Apparently they have a “blue” gene that makes their eggs come out various shades of green and blue. It’s just what they do.
And no, they don’t taste different because they’re easter colored. The only thing that makes a difference in egg taste is what they eat. Whatever goes in, comes out in the egg (both good and bad). So technically, you could have slightly herbed or garlicky eggs if you fed them those things. I’m told our eggs taste better than store-bought and I’m sure it’s because of what we do (and don’t) feed them.
