happy Easter eggs & {{giveaway!!}}

With Easter just around the corner I decided it was time to bust out the egg coloring kits and get to work. But, this year I did things a little differently. I've been noticing more and more brown eggs offered at our grocery store, so I decided to do a little color testing. I grabbed a sunshiny-yellow carton of happy egg co. eggs from the grocery fridge and headed home to get to work.

I wanted to see what the coloring difference would be between the standard white eggs and the brown eggs.

At first glance you might not notice much of a difference. The eggs are colored. They're pretty. That's it. Upon closer inspection it is instantly easy to see the brown eggs produced much deeper jewel-hued tones.

I colored three brown eggs and three white eggs the same colors: red, blue, and purple. The stark difference in coloring is obvious. The rest of the eggs I colored their own individual colors. 

I am absolutely in love with the rich colors the brown eggs produced. It will become a yearly Easter tradition to use brown eggs when dyeing our eggs.

After the Easter arts and crafts were over I had a few happy egg co. eggs left. The bright yellow box inspired me to do a little research on the eggs I was using.

happy egg co. is the only 100% free range company that is Certified Humane by the Humane Farm Animal Care. What does that mean to me? Well, no antibiotics or hormones given to the chicken, a vegetarian feed, and a pasture-foraged diet. And, get this, the hens are referred to as "the Girls." HA! Anywho… the hens roam outdoors on a huge pasture, every day. Doesn't that seem more natural than keeping hens stuck in little cages all day?

It's clear happy egg co. cares about their animals - which is huge for me (remember the time I told you I wouldn't eat cows or pigs because they're cute??). And, I'm not sure if it's the diet, or the fact that the hens (likely) enjoy life more than those that are confined to tiny cages to lay eggs, but whatever the case, happy eggs just seem to taste better.

Just ask this guy (who typically isn't an egg eater):
