When MamaHen came to adopt Dominique, I was in the midst of watching water being pumped out of the basement. I knew she and my friend pumping were coming at the same time, so it was all planned and not a problem. Neither had to work where the other was working.
She brought me a dozen fresh eggs, gathered the day before. I took them and was very, very pleased. However, I did not comment on the eggs. At the moment, I was feeling shaky and just did not want to drop them. Plus, I was under so much stress. In hindsight, my actions or lack thereof, must have seemed rude and very ungrateful.
I did open them later to see the beauty of fresh eggs, laid the day before, she said. However, I was surprised with what I received. I am not quite sure of the name of the type of hen that lays colored eggs, Ameracauna perhaps.
There were Easter egger eggs! Since the eggs were all laid the day before, she obviously has a dozen layers. AND, several of these from Eastereggers were different colors than the ordinary white, brown, tan and various shade of brown. I received colored eggs!
