[blparent] coloring eggs

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I was reading the other day that Americans buy 20 million more eggs for 
Easter than they do in any other week of the year.  Poultry raisers actually 
increase production about six weeks ahead of time by manipulating the light 
received by the hens so that they think that a day and night passes in eight 
hours, and so each hen lays three eggs instead of one in a 24-hour period 
during the six weeks before Easter.  I thought that was really interesting.
