Feathered Friday: Easter Eggers and Their Colorful Eggs

Every hen lays a different color egg in our coop.  (I'm sure that will change once the younger girls start laying.)  So here is a quick pictorial of who lays what.

Gate Locker lays the greenest of the eggs.  It's hard to tell in the picture, but her eggs are an olive color. They also have a rough texture to them.

Gracie's eggs are a pale blue color, smooth as satin, and usually long.

Mine lays eggs that are somewhere in between Gracie's blues and Gate Locker's olives.  It can be hard to tell hers from Gate Locker's, but to my experienced eye there is a distinct blue tint in the green.

Tommi's eggs are very different form the other three.  She lays eggs of a salmon color.  Some people might just call them light brown, but when you have a young child you say it's pink.
