DAY 39 CLUCKMAZING FACT~ Another one is that chicken eggs have a special gland that protects the egg from bacteria. It is called the "egg bloom" and is completely natural. Washing eggs runs the egg bloom off, causing bacteria to be able to enter the egg, making it possible for the egg to rot. If you do wash your eggs you should keep them in the fridge to prevent rotting. It takes two weeks for an washed egg to rot (I have tested this), but if kept in the fridge they will stay good for a couple of months. I believe an unwashed egg can last several months out of the fridge, and even longer in it!!

Thanks so much to @SoftSilkie for this fact!

@SoftSilkie, Thanks for testing. isn’t it interesting to test a few unwashed egg out of the fridge too (average temperature noted).

I always test ‘easter’ eggs I find from free ranging chickens in a big glass with water. If they don't drop down quickly I throw them in a bin.

Did you all now chickens are easyer yo train then dogs?

There is a film on youtube where they explain this. It is from a training centre for dogs, the first thing the dog owners learn is to train a chicken. To get the feel and learn that they accomplish things with patience and repetition.

I didn't find the youtube film again. But this will do too for the listeners among us.

DAY 38 CLUCKMAZING FACT~THE CHICKEN IS A FOREST ANIMAL
The chicken is descended from the red fowl from Southeast Asia. Her behavior is often the same as that of her wild ancestors. In a natural environment, modern-day chicken spends most of its time searching for food. She runs great distances and can fly short distances. She likes to climb trees and stay there at night to protect herself from predators (sticking)!!!
Smart Bird! Sadly they are endangered.

Thanks for @BDutch for info on this fact! You gave me a treasure chest of them!

Chickens can't be endangered. We all have them. You mean wild chickens are endangered?
