As much as I like matching Pantone colors to egg colors, it is an unwieldy process and not kid friendly. My Mom mentioned that she took a picture of her chicken’s eggs and compared color to the picture. So I took a picture of the eggs I have, arranged by color intensity, and started at 5 so I have room on the index for lighter colors (just in case). Since my youngest has decided to check for eggs everyday (yay!), this makes it easier for her to help with egg color. It is also easier to tell at a glance at the record which eggs were darker or lighter. We are currently recording date, weight, color, time gathered, and where the egg was found.
