Barbie, our last non-laying hen, laid her first egg on Valentine's Day, a robin's egg blue shelled treasure at 27 weeks old. Barbie, one of our two Easter Eggers and Slagathor, who lays olive green eggs now provide us with a nice spectrum of egg shell colors to go with the rest of our daily collection of dark/light browns and pinkish brown.
The difference between these eggs and store bought eggs are night and day. Store bought eggs have runny whites and pale yellow yolks. Our eggs have a distinctly thick white and rich golden orange yolks.
I'll never eat a store bought egg again if I don't have to. Yummy!

You won't even have to color eggs for Easter!
