Preserving first chicken egg?

[Orpington71]

I know this sounds crazy, but when one of my chickens lay their first egg, is there a way to preserve it? I want to keep it as a memory, and I got the idea since my grandma had a emu egg in her display case. Thank you!

Most of us commemorate it with a photo....

I use a Dremel to drill each end, then blow out the contents (great scrambled eggs!) , rinse & let dry. Works great!

Best way to keep it is to poke a hole either top or bottom of the egg, drain out the yolk. Then wash it and your done.

This is exactly what we have done in the past. My mom has a few of them in her China cabinet. After the first few, the novelty wore off and she didn't keep the first egg from all her many batches of chicks.

I commemorate it with a fried egg.
