I'd have to pull up a million cacti to be able to do that here. It is a great way to move the chickens around to fresh grazing areas and to spread their fertilizer.

They had bottomless chicken coops, and moved the chickens to different pasture daily.

The eggs on the farms of my childhood were all white or brown. No fancy colors. I look forward to sharing my coop and hens as things proceed. Just wish the weather would behave. We've had so much snow this month.

When I dyed eggs for Easter with my son, I boiled the eggs in water which a variety of vegetables were tossed. Beets, spinach, carrots, and blueberries (a few eggs and one of these in the boiling pot) make pastel beauties! And even tea and coffee works well too!Ruth Cox aka abitosunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670570644577223420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-74720905143202670412014-04-15T09:29:23.718-05:002014-04-15T09:29:23.718-05:00These naturally colored Easter eggs are gorgeous! ...These naturally colored Easter eggs are gorgeous! I bet they would be a lot better for us than the dyed Easter eggs too. I remember the brown eggs from my youth, but I don't believe I have otherwise ever seen anything other than the white eggs at the grocery store. My grandmother would gasp to see how "citified" I have become. Sylvestermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690700963857028874noreply@blogger.com
