Hello Kaychris,
Yes, eggs emit moisture through the various membranes and ultimately the shell porosity. It is a major part of the necessary, intricate and complex incubation weight loss phenomenon. Thanks for taking over this project. I really enjoyed your help and company today. Too bad that you and I live so far apart what with all these mutual goals and interests. Anybody near Lodi have a reasonably priced rural house to sell for a worthy project? Each and all of you who celebrate Easter have a rewarding experience. I'm at an age where I can hide my own Easter eggs
.
Almost forgot to inquire. Amy Paper Lady, just what concoction of breeds is your latest broody setting hen? I'll bet that she turns out to be a great momma too! Yes, by popular acclaim she is as cute as a bug. I take some of that back, hens eat bugs,,,
My best to you and yours,
Neal, the Zooman
I do know that there's some game bird in the mix, though. She's about 15 months old, now, and is a sort of in-between size--kinda big for a bantam, kinda small for LF. Which made it even funnier when she charged our boxer when the dog looked like she might have been interested in her chicks last Fall! Alas, that batch of chicks all turned out to be cockerels, which I can't have here (unless one of my daughters joins 4H and registers the bird, but those chicks were mixes...)
