I found something very freaky in the chicken coop this morning:
You can't tell in the picture but the egg in the middle has no shell. I went to pick it up out of the nest box & it was squishy. I yanked my hand back in surprise. Then I reached in & gave it a little poke & realized what it was.
This pic is blurry (sorry) but you can see my finger making it indent:
It looks like a regular egg but it feels soft & slightly squishy. There is no shell just the tough outer membrane holding it together.
Too cool.
I've had chickens for the better part of 40 years & I think this is only the second time I have had this happen. I thought it was the first but then my husband reminded me that we had one other one.
And just for fun ~ because I love this picture ~ the happy (most of the time
) homeschooling family
Doesn't that just say it all?
It was 19 degrees here this morning 
The garden was covered but I am afraid to look. I guess I should just suck it up & go out there.... I'll get back to you...
Blessings.
How adorable! It certainly does say it all. What a neat picture. and what a blessing homeschooling is! Now, if everyday could be just like that picture = )

Bless your heart for snagging me to see this! I love seeing about this kind of stuff...my Farmer's Wife Apprenticeship via Satellite (or something like that). You're getting me broke into this "farm life" forewarned. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd that picture. I love it! Esp. Biscuit in brother's lap! How sweet indeed.
That teacher's manual looks familiar, sitting on our table, too...LOL.
You are so cool, Liese. I love the peeks into your life--thanks!
Love the homeschooling picture (and your daughters long long hair).
ReplyDeleteI have never seen an egg like that. I could tell by the second pic what you were talking about. So unusual.
God's Blessings,

19..........that is way too cold!! How did your garden fare? I am really dreading the first freeze, always is a sad day for me.
