Subject: RE: BS: Green Eggs and...
Araucana eggs are not green inside (just like brown). They will taste like reglar delish range eggs. I never knew an Araucana that wasn't fed good stuff.

They are another whole range of color when wet. Some folks notch little blowholes at each end, blow out the yolk (may have to break it with a toothpick before it will come out easy), and paint the shells with clear nail polish. They then keep forever and can be hung up-- with a broken toothpick inside to attach a thread hanger.

We used to make annual Easter Egg trees in school, like that. Sometimes you see them nowadays on bushes.

They come in ranges of dark to light and green to blue; sometimes the minerals do not deposit evenly, and you get faint, glowing stripes. Shine a flashlight thru it for some cool light effects.
