Chicken boarders

[Saronne]

My OH has been taking surplus eggs to work and everyone who has bought them has enjoyed them and think they are delicious.

 

Today, however, one of his colleagues said he'd take another 6 eggs next week - but only the brown ones - no blue ones - as the blue ones 'freaked out' his wife.

 

Silly, or what?

how daft my friends love the blue ones and her kids think they are special

[chelsea]

I suppose to someone who has never encountered them before they are a little "alien".

 

I think they look lovely - almost too good to use!

[Cooks]

this made me laugh, maybe blue isn't her colour

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Wonder what she'd make of my green alien eggs .

- but isn't there a thing about blue food being viewed by humans as 'not right' - remember there was a big debate about blue Smarties. - having said that it's a egg for goodness sake, she hasn't got to eat the shell

[Seagazer]

My friend doesn't like eating her blue eggs as boiled eggs, she thinks it makes them look off

[Goosey Lucy]

A friend at work was concerned that the egg (yolk) would be blue

[Space Chick]

My friend buys half a dozen off me every week. One week her MIL came down and said that it was "child abuse" to feed her children blue and green eggs That there was obviously something wrong with my chickens

 

Her next visit, she wanted something to eat, so my friend offered her a poached egg on toast, she asked were they the "weird eggs" or shop bought. My friend honestly answered that they were not "weird eggs" and poached her a blue shelled one

 

The MIL ate the egg, and announced how it was the nicest poached egg she had ever had My friend then showed her the shell

 

Now, the MIL wants to buy eggs off me, and my friend has told her that she can't as she doesn't deserve them

When we finally build our WIR and use the cube I am going to go for some hens that lay or eggs, in the longer term I would love some ex bats.

Hubby took some in to work in a mixed colour box of eggs, he was told they were lovely but 'no duck eggs next time please'

 

I managed to take a box to a friends the other day where all six eggs were different colours, she was thrilled

How odd. My 'customers' specifically ask for them!

[coco]

My neighbours said their kids though the blue eggs were brilliant.

When my CLB first started laying I was asked that alot but after explaining that they the eggs are perfectly fine and are exactly the same as the 'normal' brown eggs everyone seems happy to have them now. I personally love the blue eggs, they are just a little different!! I've recently started to sell my surplus eggs and worried abit about what people would think whe i put blue eggs in but they have been coming back and asking for lots more!!

[Saronne]

Yes, generally everyone thinks the blue ones are really pretty and I get lots of questions, e.g. 'have you dyed them?' ( ) 'are they duck eggs?' 'will they taste different?' etc.

 

Only been the one person who's actually been frightened of them!
