Did you add milk and whisk them before putting them in the hot pan?

Ya I did. Salt and pepper too.

The shell is really hard to break too compared to a chicken egg. . I don't recommend throwing one at anyone you'd probably knock them out

Dogs thought the eggs were great!

but only have encountered one in all my years of running trails. One was enough.

a friend of mine was riding her horse with a group up in the Cuyamacas the old Mine trail... Which switch backs up through some boulders she was the last in line. Spring time and the boulders were beginning to warm up. She got nailed by a juvinile rattlesnake that finally warmed up .... It got her on the leg then hung in her jeans....
About a foot long and the diameter of your pinky. It gave her a full dose of venom.... They did emergency snake bite instructions from the kit and scurried on to the ranger station where they called in life flight.

Anti venom was administered and she was fine. But there was a thumb sized divot in the muscle on her leg thereafter.

Be careful running....

It may have been a few days older. I got lazy and didn't collect eggs for a few days so they are all mixed up.
I don't blame them we tried to eat some scrambled and we thought they were too. Fried they are ok. But now hubby has decided he can't stomach eating them so I guess I'll give them to someone to feed to their chickens. I'm surprised they taste so different from a chicken egg. They are really dry when scrambled.

Try using them for baking. The Albumin has got a more robust structure which is excellent for Breads and cakes. You might also try scrambling duck and chicken eggs together too.

Guineas will be my focus when I get back into poultry and their eggs have a larger proportion of yolk to white... you have to crack them with the back of a knife.... I am dying to try Deviled eggs with them.

Odd... yep, use them for baking, they're better than chicken eggs... least the dogs are happy!

I've had some bounce all the way down the hill tossing them for the chickens...

I don't like snakes at all, but I had an iguana for many years. I lost him when we lived in an old house in the country. It had screen windows latched shut at the bottom with a hook/eye. We lived there for a couple years & never had a problem, but one day he must've hooked his foot on the latch & plopped out the window. We searched the trees for him for weeks & left food & water around but never found him. 20yrs later, it still makes me sad... coulda, shoulda, woulda.






That was a brilliant idea!!!

I had an I iguana once..... His name was Ernie..... Started with two Burt died.
Had Ernie for about 12 years.... He's buried out back now.

Older egg? The ring gets bigger as the egg ages, from what I have seen...



None of my ducks will eat eggs... chickens, yes! Ducks, nope!

Mine will if they are raw..... Snowball would occasionally break them on purpose just to eat them

Scrabbling duck and chicken eggs together gives you one great scrambled egg.......

Oh yeah - those little rattlers can't control their venom - makes them a lot more dangerous than the big ones. I'm a bit more nervous about mountain lions than snakes though...our backyard is basically Whiskeytown National Rec. Area, and they are routinely spotted there. I only run alone later in the day - otherwise I'm always with buddies.
