BarbaraJ Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 i keep thinking of blowing it but dont actually know how big to make the holes and does the yolk come out whole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druids57 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 congratulations to you and Ebony I remember blowing a blackbird egg when i was a kid i recall using a pin for the holes one small one for blowing through and then wiggling the pin around a bit to make a bigger one for the egg to come out - imagine it would be a bit easier with a chicken egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I remember blowing a blackbird egg when i was a kid Oh dear! That would have you in deep water these days because of the declining songbird population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amandalou Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hi. We pierced it with a bamboo skewer both ends,then blew it gently out. The yolk dosen't come out whole but as you'll be getting a good supply now, one broken yolk shouldn't be a problem, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 lol i got too impatient, had to eat it and it was very yummy i love the way the white holds together rather than spreading all over the pan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraJ Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm not sure she gets where to lay yet though, 2 hours it took her this morning, she was on top of the coop twice so i lifted her down and popped her in the coop. yesterday she layed next to roosting bars rather than in nesting box and same again today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
