I can't have been concentrating hard enough, I didn't hear them say that . Where in the clip was it?

 

I was glad to get the reminder to store eggs pointy end down - I'd forgotten that!

[Lavenders_Blue]

What do you do if you get an egg that doesn't seem to have a pointy end? Quite a few of those here! Perhaps it doesn't matter if you store them on an egg skelter...

Wow! Great link, had missed this episode so Thanks!! Nice to hear they keep the boys as well, and their reasons for doing so too!

I never knew that about the eggs - why's that?

I saw part of it on TV - they were tasting boiled eggs - son claimed to be able to tell the difference - might be a different episode - I just assumed it was this one as it featured eggs.

 

Nice to watch, anyway.

 

This IS correct clip http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=304895 - about 6 mins in.

Do you mean the pointy end down? It's because the rounder end is the end with the air sac and that helps keep bacteria out. Plus, if they are fertilized you store them pointy end down while you wait for a broody

Ah, thanks Hazel . Thought I was losing it .

Ah, thanks Hazel . Thought I was losing it .

I thought your user name meant you already had!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Oh dear, I thought it could only refer to the song - hadn't thought it could mean I was on another planet .

[whoopsie]

Thanks Mum - will make sure I do that in future

[Mum]

You're welcome whoopsie - we all have to learn something at some stage; I certainly wasn't born knowing this

My araucanas' blue eggs taste slightly richer than the brown ones.

Samples please we'll all offer to do some sampling research

They all get eaten pretty quickly I'm afraid, either by us, or the neighbours as their children ask for the 'fairy eggs' as they call the blue ones.

"Fairy eggs" - how cute; I love that!!!
