Who needs to Dye Easter eggs??

Now that's much better than colouring them lol,

I hope no one on earth colours the chicks this year because they can die from food colouring.

I see fertile duck, swan, turkey, chicken ect .. eggs at my auction all the time.

I actualy got 2 just hatched gunie fowl there once, they where SO cute lol.

Critter Crazy, I don't think I've ever seen an egg before that was the bluish green color of the one on the top right. My college roommate's mother-in-law is a 4-H mom and she has her own hen house. When my roomie and her husband moved, she brought egg salad made from hen house eggs for lunch the day we were painting. It was delicious. Supermarket eggs are just not the same. She also has a big garden. I would like to take lessons from her on how to raise a proper garden and do my own canning.

Do you see people giving chicks as Easter pets? Every year on the news around here they urge people not to give chicks or rabbits as Easter pets unless the person receiving the pet understands the care that will be required. But people do it anyway.

I have never seen Chicks given/sold for easter presents. The only time I have seen chicks given away, was after school science projects where they hatched eggs in class. But all the homes, were screned prior to the re-homing. It is sad that people do give in to all the Hype, I do see tons of Rabbits selling around easter, and it is quite sad.
