We celebrate Saint Patrick's Day here on the farm! This week on the egg delivery run, everyone got green eggs! Dyed? No! They're 100% natural, farm fresh green eggs, all in various shades of green!
We have a hen named Olive Oyl who lays the pretty olive green eggs.
Every now and then, we get little teeny tiny eggs. This tiny egg (next to a normal sized egg) happens to be green!
Thanks to the lovely ladies in the hen house who lay eggs with green shells: Olive Oyl, Peaches, Chatty, Cheeks, Edwina, Wishbone, Thing 1, Thing 2, Thing 3, Little Brown Hen, Dosie and Doe....and eventually Cottonelle and her sister Luann!
Here's to ya, Chickies!
I never knew eggs came in these beautiful colors. It must look like Easter everyday at your house.

Lucky are those who receive your eggs. Green or not. There isn't anything better than fresh eggs.

I thought about you today as I ran through HEB and chose Brown Cage Free large eggs! Wish I lived close enough to be on your egg run! These green eggs are quite something. I love the comparison of size too! At first I thought the small egg was the normal one...

Your eggs are lovely, and green to boot. :)

I love hearing about all of the animals! Those eggs are beautiful. I wish I lived close enough to get on the deliveries.

Happy St. Patricks day to you!
I love that you give green eggs to celebrate. I may have to change up my cartons, and put more green ones in today. MY EE hens must be a bit Irish, lol

Happy St. Paddy's to you and the ladies. The egg colors are beautiful...and all natural too. Is it a certain type of chicken that lays green eggs? Does it always happen or is it now and then? I just love all of the great information you dispense!

I was never into chickens or eggs very much until I have been visiting your blog and I have to say they are quite exciting. How wonderful it is to pull an egg from under a hen and find a color!
