Surviving Minnesota!

Hello! :frow
2 or 3 years ago one of my pulleys laid a fairy egg. I wanted to keep it so I put it in an interior window sill intending to search ways to preserve it. I never did.:idunno Today my 3 year old took it down and broke it. Inside was an amber-color crystal-like substance. I can't find anything about this online, but I think it's SO interesting I want to try recreating it with a larger egg.:oops: Lol. Does anyone know what this called?

The fairy egg , peanut egg or egg fart are just membrane flaked off in the oviduct (sometimes a bit of yolk ) anyway egg white is added in proportion to size of material then shell is applied . Egg shell being porous and the small egg dries out as yours did .
 
Snowing like a male dog of a mother dog........ Looks like a good foot behind my car. It is hard to tell what is falling and what is blowing in this 400MPH wind....

I am so ready for winter to end.......

@jerryse I knew I was correct, I am not color blind, it was a brown chick..

Actually, it can be hard to tell the PC from the SS when they first hatch. The PC are a little lighter on the chest and belly. If they have enough of a comb to see if it is single or cushion works too. BUT I can seldom tell those apart at that age.

The one on the left is old, she can sleep in the nest if she wants. The other two are not. They are lazy!
