Not only that but I did add plenty of food for thought regarding wind, sun, and bedding material and its effects on the temp of the eggs.

true that was good info, too bad it was disguised as sarcasm

how do you think stuff gets onto google?

Unicorns, m'dear man. Unicorns.

Now you are getting to be fun! It was not a study, rather simply a series of observations where newbies here could see some real free-range chicken biology. Remember a wise man (sdm111?) once said several pages back some people come her to learn, not to be talked down to. Getty all sassy talking about pit procedures, short and long gaff, and knives with liberal amounts of redneck mouthiness was not the best approach even then. For me is was also an exercise in fluff to be mined later for rough images and notes upon which more interesting studies could be based. Some of this is actually fun and more than about silly pissing matches with pictures of birds just standing there looking pretty.

Is all you got to do is put up anything that can back up what you say. Talk is cheap centre

Out of allllllllll the talk about chickens I've seen prolly 4 no 5, 3 white ones and 2 bb red bantams

how do you think stuff gets onto google? Have you ever looked up chicken questions and google just sends you to a thread on BYC?

Centra provided real world observations that are likely to help people like lmljs who asked for his advice... and hundreds of other people who are going to google search and end up on this thread to read his observations.

We dont care if you already know. you already know everything anyways.

I'm no expert on everything like centre but would you trust letting eggs sit in 27°?
Allow me to remind you water freezes at 32

I have no information or background on that subject.

But ... Im guessing the egg is mostly water based, but the shell and other molecules probably give it a lower freeze point.

it get down to 27 at my new house... I'll let you know if those eggs hatch. I know they didnt crack from freezing.

Good an experiment to prove or disprove

In other news grey pullets first lay and broody right on schedule 12 eggs

well the freezing point for fresh water is 32, the freezing point for salt water is just above 28. I dont know the freezing point for albumen but i would be willing to guess it's closer to the saltwater temp then the fresh water temp.

either way, build a bridge...

also I didn’t ask your experiences on the matter just if you would
