I hatch a clutch sometime in june that way I have POL pullets right now! Just had a girl start laying at 22 weeks and I love decorating the tiny pink egg she gives me everyday! Then I'm only getting about 1 or 2 a day from my main coop out of 5 hens.
Thanks! Makes me want to get a couple more white egg layers. Funny cause the olive and green eggs I have are really pretty and my favorite ornaments are white! And just one hole when I blow them out. I use a 60cc syringe and a 16g needle.
Finally got some done. The white eggs are duck eggs and the rest are chicken eggs. I had another dozen done but I guess I didn't take pictures of them. I'll have my mom take pictures of her tree when she decorates it. She bought the white ones from me and I let her borrow the rest! We decided...

I posted a pic a few pages back with the idea. I dont embroider and my list of hobbies is currently too long to learn how! If you google egg embroidery theres tons of amazing ones.
I'm taking a mandatory week or two break from eggs. I keep having these ridiculous 'egg nightmares' as we call them. I have the same problem when I hatch eggs I have chickie nightmares, but they're not as bad as the egg ones. So I'm making myself stop for a little while, then I'll pick back up...
Let us know if anyone finds something. I was planning on making a few more within the next couple days and I might just leave them blind until I find something I really like! I want to find something natural because of the BOSS beak, the little stick feet and the feathers.
Maybe I look in the...
Aww I like your little bird! What is the beak made with? I just got a pack of rub ons that had those little gems on it. Unfortunately the rub ons all got stuck on the backing sheet after only doing 2 tiny ones, but I still have the little gems! I think I'll make a couple with those too! I like...
Whats the longest I should leave eggs to blow out? I had some eggs I stashed to blow out and just stumbled upon them. They've been there probably about 2 months.. give or take They floated when I put them it water too. Think I should just toss them or what?
Little Birdie #3.
Tried to make it a rooster with a comb.. thats what the feather on his head is.. haha
also gave him little stick feet!
I gathered these feathers after a coyote grabbed one of my young boys. He is now my main rooster and I love him! Thankfully I caught it mid attack! Glad I...
I think the grinch is a great idea!! I'm sure I will make a few of those this year too!
Here is Little Birdie attempt #2
My mom was visiting so I hung him on her rear view window and surprised her with it cause she wanted the first one I made!
I think his wings are in a funny place and...
Ohh good idea! I have a bag of wild bird seed and a bag of chicken scratch Im going to go rummage through now!
I like the little bird ones! I think I'll make a few and get little cute boxes and make a little nest in them and give them away for christmas like that!
Here's my tree topper. Its supposed to be a star. You cant see the hot glue as much in person and I think I am also going to clear coat it.
And I made this little guy lastnight.
I think the body came out really good. I'm going to go to joanns to see what they have I can make a cute beak...
Thought these were some pretty cool ideas! The links to the websites are above the pics. I googled blown egg ornaments and foung all kinds of cool things!

Okay I made this one today.. Probably wont be doing another anytime soon!! It was a pain in the butt! I poked a bunch of holes and a dab of hot glue and in went a feather.. a lot of feathers!
I did 6 feathers around the top to start and it looked pretty cool! Maybe I'll do a couple more...
Joanns had one that the lady recommended to me. Its Design Master Super Surface Sealer. It kind of smells like berries when you spray it.. I think its expensive for the smaller can that its in though.. I use the Krylon clear gloss and have to do it in short doses..

Holy cow theres a ton of them! I'm horrible at decisions, I'm going to be here all night! (lol slow night at work!)
Here's my kittens trying to 'help' mama break all the eggs!
Thanks! She lays some pretty cool ones! Never the same either.
I also lightly dusted some olive eggs with the gold! They need a couple more clear coats though!
Hah..you can see my reflection kind of..
