Eggy Odds

Aletta is showing off oddly coloured eggs for her tenth square today. She has included an explanation about chicken egg colours – however, bright blue, red, yellow, orange and green was not explained. I’m sure the chicken would find these colours odd. They probably also think some odd thoughts about the bunny who takes their eggs each year only to distribute them to children.

Chickens aren’t the only ones

The hatchling peeping out of an egg is an Elwetritsch, a mythical creature from the Southwest of Germany. This particular one is part of a fountain in Neustadt an der Weinstraße.  If you want to read up on Elwetritsche (apparently they’ve made their way to the New World where they are known amongst the Pennsylvania Dutch as Elbedritsch) you can look them up on Wikipedia.

This is in response to The Daily Post prompt “Egg” – more eggy posts can be found here.
