➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[Kiki]

I just thought of a new experiment.

Gather a lot of eggs and boil them.
Set up a glass with vinegar and food coloring.
Dip first egg in for a second and set to the side.
Repeat adding one or two seconds in the glass each time.

Peel them.
Purpose:
To see how long you can leave an egg in so that when you peel it zero food coloring shows up on the egg.


I'm thinking about the taking off the spots on a quail egg.
Since I didn't pay attention or even think to just dip it for one second to wipe the spots off...I am wondering how quick of a dip will work to get the spots off but not let any vinegar get inside the egg.

It will probably be best to do this with quail eggs.

Even if the vinegar does not get inside it may possibly change the shell in some way not consistent with a successful hatch.

Only one way to find out!

OMG! You guys are slaying me today. I love how the conversation is flowing seamlessly from hermaphrodites to fried chicken & back. I've almost showered my computer in coffee a couple times.

Oh & @Pugsabi you are on a roll! You're killing me!!!

I'm not even pretending to catch up but I see I am missing some good stuff!

You sound like Kiki!

Yes I agree...It is probably a bad idea but I still want to try it.

Hey @KikisGirls what happened to the balut babies? I know they hatched but do you still have them? I honestly just can't read through this giant of a thread...

Street Food and friend went to their new home.

They are doing great.
I have no yet gotten received updated pictures of them, hopefully I will soon.

I hope so too! I saw the video of them swimming in the frying pan(?) and it was adorable! I have a few broody ducks at the moment, hoping for some babies soon!

I wasn't even sure if I just tried to use a real word.
