Old Cotswold Legbar Eggs

Today I was gathering things to dye eggs. I just have a desire to dye some eggs for Easter this year.

I was trying to find white eggs as the colour will come out better and ran across these:

They're a light pastel blue egg! I had no idea these existed. I got some as well as some duck eggs (they were the only white eggs I could find). I'll dye a couple of the blue chicken eggs but it seems to be a bit of a waste as they're already naturally coloured.

Apparently the old cotswold legbar eggs can come in different colours, like peach and pink!

So cool!

I love those! We used to indulge and buy them a few times. I think there are other rarer breed chickens that also produce fun colored eggs.

These are great eggs, I often get them- I came across them in trying to respect my vegetarian daughter's concerns about conditions of chickens. I do admit they are a bit more expensive and the cheapness in me sometimes wins out and I don't buy them.

I got white eggs, and egg dye, at my local Polish shop.
