Has anyone else had this happen to you?
One afternoon I collected eggs, got distracted, set the pail down, and quickly forgot them….
I rediscovered the new shining aluminum pail with eggs still in it a few days later.
I have been float testing all my eggs since I have some hens sitting broody and they might get mixed in. All the eggs were on the bottom of the bowl. For extra care, I candle all the eggs I set up for use. I found the same number of eggs found in the pail, were not clear when candled.
So, curiosity peaked my interest and I cracked one open. There was absolutely nothing wrong with all these darken eggs. They were cooked as if hard boiled!
Reflecting back (pun intended), I put together what caused this strange thing. It was the shiny new pail, set down in the full sun, and the super high temps (daily highs over 100F - 110F we’ve had for the past month. Silly me! How could they not be cooked in the shell!
Have any of you experienced anything similar during this singularly brutally hot summer?
