[2022dirt]

Some chickens can lay eggs without shells, leaving them soft and translucent.

DO YOU?!?!!?

All these photos, by the way, come from the house/farm of the parents of @quothalinguist which I have visited a few times (and am visiting again very soon, which likely means more chick pics). I even got pictures of chickens before they're chickens:

We had a chicken straight up hatch while we were sleeping in the same room. A CHICKEN CAME TO LIFE IN MY PRESENCE. I'm basically unstoppable now.

First fairy egg ever.

All three of those are from Miss BoBo Spoons, mille fleur d’uccle, and former vaudeville burlesque dancer (She did an act with spoons. Hence the name.)

I gave the Soote Sisters the winter off, no artificial light, but even though there’s two feet of snow on the ground still, brave Miss Spoons started cranking out eggs last week. The fairy egg was her fifth egg for this year, and is the size of a grape.

Goony, broody Brenda Deluxe, the black Silkie was determined to hatch it, but I said nope, sorry.

Israeli Archaeologists Find 1,000-Year-Old Intact Chicken Egg

A team of archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) has found an unbroken chicken egg in an Islamic-period cesspit at the archaeological site of Yavne on Israel’s southern Mediterranean coast.

Poultry farming was introduced to Israel approximately 2,300 years ago, during the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods.

“Eggshell fragments are known from earlier periods, for example in the City of David and at Caesarea and Apollonia, but due to the eggs’ fragile shells, hardly any whole chicken eggs have been preserved,” said IAA archaeologist Dr. Lee Perry Gal.

“Even at the global level, this is an extremely rare find.”

“In archaeological digs, we occasionally find ancient ostrich eggs, whose thicker shells preserve them intact.” Read more.
