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

How's your little niece doing @Pugsabi? Are the parents adapting ok?

Riley is doing great! She's decided that she wants to stay awake until 1:00a.m. everyday when for the first few days she sleep all the time, so that took her mom awhile to get used to. We were laughing at my brother because Riley anointed him when he feed her yesterday and then when he was changing her diaper, she projectiles pooped on him!

I like curry but not a fan of Caribbean. I went to a buffet once in Barbados. Everything looked incredible, but it all tasted exactly the same because of the curry.

What kind of Caribbean have you tried? They are not all the same. Dominican food is the best! I know I'm biased. But, I don't care for Jamaican food. It's too spicy.

Here is one video...I'm looking for my recent LIVE still.

This may give you an idea how to candle while in the bator too.

Almost 40 plus hours and here is the final product!
Color off of shell was gone off of chicken egg first, took about 27 hours, then actual shell took 36 hours approximately. It was a cool experiment as it showed how thick the membrane actually is and why it’s so important to not shrink wrap and why it takes them so long to hatch. The duck’s is a LOT thicker than the chicken’s egg. It looks like a shell is still there but it’s just that thick of a membrane.

Chicken left, duck right

WOOT!
I forgot to mention...someone ditched my second vinegar egg.

I will start another one soon.
I want to feel a rubber bouncy egg!

Re: craziest chicken question: probably the one I got asked about a listing of straight run chicks. "Do they lay eggs?"

Don’t squeeze them!

Of course! It was a fun experiment!

I learned how to do it from an expert.
