Fellow Pursuers,

I am on an egg hunt. I am looking for either ostrich or emu eggs. These will be used to freak out my family members and co-workers during the Easter season. Does anybody know where I can find some in the eastern Puget Sound region? We would like to eat them, so I don't have any use for the shell only. Just a couple are needed as they are each equal to two dozen chicken eggs and take an hour to hard boil.

Just down the road from my house (poulsbo). It's about a 10-20 drive from the bainbridge Island ferry.

There used to be a ostrich rancher out in the Enumclaw area, north edge of town.

I heard they do funny things to ostriches in Enumclaw
I will try and see if I can find it. I have a few leads, but no eggs yet.
Thanks for the Griz and DB.
On a side note... Am I the only one who thinks it would be hilarious to sneak a giant dyed ostrich egg into an Easter egg hunt?

I want to say the guy lived on SE 416th St between 212th Ave SE and 244th Ave SE, but it has been over 10 years since I have been there. House is off the road quite a ways but the Ostriches were visible from the road.

My kids would love that.

You could have an entire meal from one hard-boiled egg. That would actually be a pretty cool thing to have for a back-packing trip. Hard-boil one ostrich egg, and you have a 2-day protein source in it's own packaging.

I have turkey and pheasant eggs. LOTS of them.

Turkey eggs are about twice the size of a chicken egg by volume. They are cream colored with maroon to pinkish speckles, but could easily be dyed.

Pheasant eggs are about 1/2-1/3 of a chicken egg. They are also not plain jane white. Mine range from baby poop brown to olive.

Both are quite edible, and we have eaten both.

Thats horrible

Sorry.

The red tape on the barrel makes it politicly correct.
