Told hubby about the new antibiotics regulations this morning. He's all worked up and talked about emailing representatives and everything and like I knew he would, is pushing the vet thing again.

Good morning all
 
I am just seeing a beautiful program on NG wild on the Atacama desert of Chili, and I have learned a wonderful fact. In this very arid desert live a colony of seagulls and they have an adaptation in there eggs that make them suitable to the desert.
There egg shell is much less permeable than outer eggs, so they don't loos as much humidity
In the same rate as other eggs, but, from the outer hand, they don't have a lot of oxygen entering the egg! So they need much longer incubation period, then outer! (30 days vers. 26!)
I think that this fact could be the answer how different eggs can hatch in parts of the planet that have very high or very low ambient humidity!
