The Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia!
collected the chickens' eggs yesterday only to find that one felt very bumpy...
it looks like it has 'veins' all around the outside of the shell...very hard egg and has what looks like a 'rose bud' on the smaller end of the shell....

anyone ever have an egg like this and why did it happen??

my thought....my son was killed on the 5th of March and maybe he sent me a rose from heaven?!?


in person, it reminds me of a 'rose bud'...and hoping you can see the 'veining' in this second picture..

I think a rose from heaven is exactly what it is!

Sincere condolences; I cannot begin to imagine how you feel.

Yes, it does indeed look like a rose bud and no, I've never seen one like it. Definately one for preserving.
 
thank you for all of your condolences...it has been and still is very hard to go day to day....
he was coming home from work and a tree fell across his car, killing him instantly.

how do I 'blow out' an egg...I want to preserve it but afraid I will break it...
Sunny and the 5 egg layers, can you tell me the best way to do this safely without ruining my egg??
or anyone??
