Did you ever get to watch a hen actually lay an egg?

I've seen it many, many times up close. But it never ceases to amaze me!

I've caught them a couple of times... It sure doesn't look fun...

Oh yeah!!! If I have time to burn I sit in there with them and "coach" them...lol. Mine are all a bit different in their "style." I've even drug DH in there to make him watch!

Is that what folks refer to as the "bloom" on an egg, when it's wet and then dries off so quickly????
