Great, I don't know the inner working of the egg, just the basics. However I am curious if nutrition could effect the strength of the inner egg.
You understand, the healthier the hen, the stronger the egg, yada, yada...
I have to study this.
If the egg is indeed stronger from a healthier hen, then theoretically it could withstand more jarring than that of a battery hen egg. (I am specifically thinking of shipped eggs, and the health of the hen)
I do realize that it is really dependent on the post office employees, however if there was a way to test it that would be interesting!

I've had some shipped eggs, that looked like the hen didn't get much calcium, compared to say, my hens that have super thick shells, due to being given free-range access, calcium, grit and all the layer feed/protien feed they want to peck at. My birds don't eat very much feed since they free-range all day.

All caught up, AGAIN. That might last long enough for me to finish this post!

Okay. I have considered other alternatives and watched infomercials. Honey(s), I am ordering a new vacuum now. Thank you for helping me decide! You are the sweetest!

i love them!!!   theyre so awesome! and its funny my pony has a gorgeous mane and tail but rubs her forelock almost completely off so it would help a lot LOL
my daughter would especially love the pink/purple one lol
i wish i knew how to do this and the time to do it

It is actually hot pink and turquoise. It was a special order, and while I am not fond of pink and thought it would be ugly I actually liked it so much I bought more to make one for me.

They looked very bad on arrival. The gold sebrights still drink on their own, if I hold them near water, but otherwise that's about all the activity they are doing. The 1 silver that's not active won't even do that...so I'm dipping its bill. Keep setting them back in the ground up bowl of food, so if they do get jostled and decide to peck they might get some food. The gel is nearly gone, as all the chicks were attracted to it, but it says good for up to 200 chicks, so I think the aren't meant to have much anyways...

@casportpony
Have you tried tubing?

My nerves! That was scary!

My nerves! That was scary!

I hope it works out well. I put in tile, hardwood and laminate when I built my house. No need for a fancy vacuum here.

Mel this for you!
I re post it just for you! You need to see the film!

I am so hard core!!!! I am nervous as heck cause I am going up against both my breeders, the champ of the last show and the judge who gave Fuzz Reserve of Show! Today I made them a "special" breakfast to work on feather quality and weight gain on my cockerel and pullets. And yes-they all get baths and beak, nail and comb care the day before the show! Fuzz, Peck, Sausage, Bondo and Puff are all going to Ohio Nationals! (sausage may get replaced by "Bro"-Stans brother until I can get him to mature a bit more. And lots of table work for Bondo and Peck... Yup i will probably be watching this on Tuesday after OT!!!!

How are we doing this morning?
Chichalette, as well as the b&w one in the back, look like they were on the receiving end of a shotgun blast @ 20 yards

I'm in a good mood. Keeping my spirits up. Just going to enjoy my couple days off. Wrist looks better but pain is still bad. its ok-one step at a time

Thanks for always checking in on me
