I didn't smell it, and I definitely didn't cook it. I'm trying to think of how to tell her gently, because she's been super nice and helpful. But eggs are a big part of her business, so I'm sure she would want to know.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

you still have the egg? take it over there and ask her what causes it.

Old age is the only reason eggs turn green...... And yes I an sure that she would be glad to know since she has other customers. If that happened to one of my customers i would give the customer a whole dozen free.

It's still in the bowl, because I wanted my husband to see it. He bought the eggs, so I'll let him take it back.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Enola, what about when you boil them and there is just a little green around the yolk. is that the same thing ?

 

[campingshaws]

My pullet I've been giving antibiotics and tubing fluids is eating and drinking on her own today!

She was less than 3 lbs when I weighed her two days ago, and I thought I would lose her for sure.

Congratulations on your pullet's improvement! Granny that green coating on hard boiled yolks is from cooking too long.

I was wearing two pants, shirts and a jacket, hat, scarf. I finally got over this cold and I don't want it back! Like I told a fella on another thread, with my thin southern blood I'm a little delicate flower!

Me too campingshaws! I'm a couple hundred miles SOUTH of you! Watched the weather this morning and we are going to have lows in mid 40's. Guess I better get busy making blankets for my girls.

They really fuss when it gets that cold. After living here for so long, I'm a real wuss when it comes to the cold and when it gets cold here it isn't just cold but damp cold because of the high humidity. You probably get that too. I get out my jackets when it gets below 75.

Good golly, are you on the coast? South Texas? I don't think I could drive 200 miles south without standing in water.

Oh no, I see now. Haha, I was being way too literal. Sorry! I have a brand-new sister-in-law from Florida. They live here, for now.
