I know a few expert egg dyers - they have all the paraphernalia for dying hollow eggs.
There’s a needle like punch which has a cup around the needle to keep the shell from cracking as the needle pushes through the shell. There's a hypodermic-like hollow needle with a little hand powered pump to blow out the innards after the yolk has been “pithed” with a stirring needle.
Combining white vinegar with food coloring and adding boiling water helps set the dye to the calcareous shell. That's what's in the glass jars in the photo.
In Southern California the Egg hunt would be outside – the grass is already green. But in NEO and New England the Easter Egg hunt would have to be inside the house - snow would hide those eggs too well.
