Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Two besties for Tuesday.

Tonight we had a mystery. Some yolk like substance was found on the bedding with no trace of a shell or membrane. Perhaps we have a layer on our hands?

Perhaps. You think the others may have eaten it?

That's a BIG emotional challenge

Thanks MJ.

Really? I feel like you're pulling my leg, but here goes...

Here's a soft boiled egg and a hard boiled egg for comparison.

Here's an even softer boiled egg.

Thank you for answering them. I want sure and did not have the time to link it all up like you did.

In my experience, it makes them easier to peel. Also, you don't have to check how old the egg is before boiling it.

Try pricking the flat end of an egg before boiling it and see what you think. Any fine sharp pin will do. I used a small safety pin before I was given the egg pricking tool.

I think I will try it next time I hard boil some.

No worries! I was happy to but felt a little unsure of what was going on. One of those cultural terminology mismatches perhaps?

It's easy to do and you might as well satisfy your curiosity

Twofer Tuesday!

These aren’t really bestie shots, but I’ll find some photos of doubles.

Not a twofer, but this is when Cashew brought her chicks to my lap.
