Granny's gone and done it again

[kwhites634]

Whites, riddle me this , I drilled hole for the plugs to feed through on my bator, the turner, heater ect... Fed them all through and cant get them back out. I want to take the turner out instead of just moving it cause I need the room..

If they all fit going in, they should come out. Wiggle them & see if there isn't one a bit looser than the others, & concentrate on backing that one out. Get one & the others should come. You may have to disconnect the wires from the unit, or cut the plug off one of them, then wire a new plug in.

Egg Osmosis, How Does an Egg React to Certain Liquids?
A raw egg without a shell will absorb water, but how well will it work with other liquids?
Abstract
Chicken eggs are a type of cell, the shell is the cell wall and the egg membrane is the cell membrane and the yolk is the nucleus. When a cell needs more of something like water, oxygen, protiens, etc. the cell can do two things either active or passive transport. Active transport is when the cell membrane enfolds around whatever needs to be in the cell, making a pocket, it does its job then the cell membrane goes back to normal. Active transport uses energy. Passive transport is when a molecule such as oxygen, can move through the holes in the cell membrane, passive transport does not require enegry.
Hypothesis
My hypothesis is that when eggs without a shell are submerged in a liquid, they will get bigger due to the process of diffusion. Because the concentration of the water outside of the egg is higher than the concentration of water inside the egg so the water goes into the egg but the other molecules can not. I also hypothesized that of the liquids I will test, besides water, the salt water egg will get the biggest, because the concentration of water in the salt water is almost as high as the concentration of the pure water.
Materials
8 raw eggs
2700 mL white vinegar
(mixed two brands)
300 mL water
300 mL maple syrup
300 mL salt water
300 mL sugar water
300 mL canola oil
300 mL milk
300 mL coffee
8 containers
12 inch ruler
masking tape
marker
Procedure
Step 1: Place eggs in their containers and soak them in 300 mL of vinegar for two days
Step 2: Take out the eggs and gently run under water to get of any remaining egg shell
Step 3: Pour out the vinegar and refill container
with the designated liquid then soak for two days
Step 4: Take out the eggs and measure, compare and record the data
Observations
Pictures
Conclusion
I had hypothesized that the eggs would all
get bigger. That was correct execpt for the maple
syrup egg which shrunk. The most interesting,
in my opinion, was not which egg got the biggest, but the one egg that shrunk. It shrank because there was so little water in the maple syrup that some of the water from the egg diffused out. My other hypothesis was that the salt water egg would be the biggest, that hypothesis was not correct. The vinegar and coffee eggs got the biggest. The coffee and vinegar eggs got the biggest because there was a highest concentration of water in those eggs, besides the water egg, than in all the other eggs that went through the cell membrane. One thing that was confusing was that the coffee and vinegar eggs were bigger than the water
egg. One thing that might change the results is increasing the concentration of salt, sugar
or coffee.

Limitations
Some things in my experiment went wrong. One thing was my cats , it was very hard to keep them away from my containers of liquids. Another thing is that I had to soak my eggs for two days twice. It was very time consuming and I had to wait a long time to get my data. Also some of my containers were not deep enough and some of the egg was not submerged.
Abstract Cont.
Passive transport is a form of diffusion. Diffusion is when there is an area of high and low concentracion, the molecules try to move away from other molecules so the high and low concentration even out to equilibrium. Equilibrium is when both side are balanced. Diffusion for water is called osmosis. My egg experiment uses passive transport and osmosis.

ETA I couldn't figure out how to get the pictures too.

one of them I spliced. Maybe I will do that with the turner then drill a new hole after this hatch. the others cant be unplugged right now. I hate to cut it but I sure have tried enough. Thank you.

Just saw two of the scovy hens chasing a swarm of those blue/green black dies through the pen, gobbling as they went.

Thank you Kiki, good read. She took the shells off. I know that will make a difference. But they did absorb ! I would try this but being a smoker I would smell and taste nothing.

Flies.

LOL them poor chicks.

Flies.

ohh thats right ! They are supposed to be big bug eaters right ? Thats awesome. do they eat ticks and skeeters too ?
