can i use color eggs for my egg food?
we don't really like eggs in our house but we still love to color them for the kids
so i was kinda hoping that i did not just have to waste them this year.
we used just the colored pill tab thing. no stickers or glitters just the food die tablets

Re: colored eggs
I don't know what the "colour pill" things contain but I suppose you could peel the coloured shell off the eggs and then use the insides (hardboiled white and yolks) for eggfood.

Re: colored eggs
I agree, I wouldn't use the dyed eggshells, but if the color doesn't bleed thru to the inside, the hardboiled egg should be fine to mash up for the birds.

Re: colored eggs
Usually the dye tablets for coloring Easter eggs are just food coloring in a tablet form. Just to be safe though, like Sally and Liz said, I would peel the shells off and just feed the inside.
