So this is just a hypothesis, that I'm curious about. Nothing more, nothing less.
I'd like to bounce it off you guys and see what you think. It might be wrong. It also might not be something you want to do in front of kids or in areas of extremely flammable materials or equipment, nor in a barn. (Let's all be safe.)
Supposedly, if you have rotten incubator eggs, they start to smell right? And those same eggs, also would start emitting smelly gases right?
If that's the case, then wouldn't holding a lit lighter up to a spoiled egg also produce a reaction, due to the rotten gas coming out of it?
In theory, the good eggs shouldn't produce much gas, and not have a reaction with the small lighter flame. But the ones swelling with gas from bacteria should. (I don't know if when the rotten egg is near enough pressure to explode if this would tip it over the edge or not. So please be careful.)
CAUTION, WARNING!
In theory, unpredictable and anarchic chemical reactions would also occur in the brains of nearby teenagers within eyesight, or 100 feet of the experiment zone would also occur that could result in extensive unpredictable spurts, or property damage. Therefore experiment recommendations would be to not have teenagers at all, or easily impressed children, or practice requiring muzzling and special licensing to parents to possess the agricultural specimen called 'teenagers'. Its also believed that some teenagers can resort to spontaneous combustion when exposed to a chemical reagent called 'their friends'. Please keep teenager lab specimens away from their friends at all costs, whether or not you are doing the rotten egg experiment or not. Teenagers should also require protective equipment at all times when handling, regardless of rotten egg experiments or not, including PPEs, flame retardant clothes, splash shields, and physical damage absorbing material, etc.
This should not be done over anywhere flammable, nor in the house except in a very controlled area like possibly over a sink of water or tub, or over concrete or a bucket of water with protective gear for self, and to hold the egg without it resting in the hand to prevent burns.
Please update your Chemical Data Safety Sheet's accordingly.
And return and report.
...
If anyone has tried this I would like to know how it turns out. But given that many of you have hay, or straw materials around your animals, that is a worry in conducting this experiment.
