Yeah, knowing what I do about how big egg farms work, I could never buy commercially produced eggs and sleep at night. Of course, my neighbors laugh at the way I pamper my birds, but they sure LOVE the eggs they make!

Buy your school teacher a few Araucana (Easter Egg birds) pullets next spring and in six months, you'll have the colored eggs you dream of! Do you have a garden? If so, why not
get yourself a few pullets (yes, they come in the mail!) and have at it? Chickens don't take up much room at all, they eat just about anything, and they're
so interesting to watch - cheap relaxation/meditation plus delicious, pretty eggs!
