31 EGGS
Today we have a total of 31 eggs. We stopped putting eggs in the incubator today so now we will start eating the new eggs we collect. Numbers 14-22 were in the hen house and an egg broke on them so they were covered with hay, poop, and dirt because they were so sticky. Some of the bacteria from the things stuck to them might have sank through the shell and got in the egg, so that may effect the embryo. There is a very good possibility that the embryos 14-22 wont form.
I have a favorite egg, it is number 27. Number 27 is the biggest egg I have ever seen, I hope it will be a big rooster. If number 27 is a rooster I will teach him tricks. I will train him to come when I call his name. Right now I am thinking of a name for him.

Hi Braden! This is great! We were wondering what makes some eggs green or brown? Does it have anything thing to do with what type/breed of chicken they are? Zach and Maddie say, "hi and they miss you!"
ReplyDeleteBraden How did candling go last night? How many embryos did you see?
ReplyDeleteThe breed of the hen is what makes some eggs different colors.
ReplyDeleteThe candling went great, I will post some pictures and some info about candling soon.
ReplyDeleteZaira, a 5th grader in Mrs. Pearson's class asked:
ReplyDeleteIs there special food that you feed the chickens so that the eggs are good for people to eat them?
Our chickens eat regular chicken feed. We feed our chickens leftovers from meals and give them old bread and vegetables. We give them broken up used egg shells, the egg shells help strengthen the eggs they lay shells.
