Anne pointed at a woman wearing a baby snuggly in
her Tula wrap.
“I’d
only seen white and brown eggs at my grocery store. But earlier today I saw
some blue ones, some pink, and even some green eggs. How do you get those kinds
of eggs and do they taste different than a white egg?”
Anne moved to the side of the stage where a dozen
eggs were in a clear container. “Each of these eggs is a different color.
Some”—she held up one—“even have spots on them. This is determined by the type
of hens you have. For instance, if you want a brown egg, then your best choices
would be something like a Rhode Island Red, a Wyandotte, an Astralorp, or
Orpington.
Ameraucana or Aracaunas, or what some refer to as
Easter-eggers, lay blue or green eggs.’’
A small hand shot up.
“Yes? You in the back.” She motioned to the small boy.
“Um, uh, how do you know if the eggs are good for
you? I mean, you know, like, okay to eat? I mean, when you go to the store, you
can trust they’re okay.”
“Good question. Thanks for asking.” The boy beamed
at the praise.
“First, let’s start with the timing. When you go
outside and retrieve eggs on a daily basis, those eggs are fresh. Eggs in the
store can have taken up to five weeks just to get on your refrigerator shelf.”
Some people in the crowd gasped, and Anne heard,
“Is that true?”
“It’s true. Look it up.” She smiled at the crowd.
