Eggs are a weird concept, but what’s a breakfast without some bacon and eggs? “Boil ’em, mash ’em, put ’em in a stew,” as one hobbit used to say, referring to potatoes, but you get the gist – eggs are very tasty, nutritional, and can be cooked in many different ways. But what they don’t tell you is how odd-looking some eggs are when they come out of a chicken.
If you’ve dabbled in farming, you may have seen some of the most bizarre eggs ever. Or maybe the higher power spared you so you could see all of them at once in this little article.
Be warned: some of these oddballs may turn you away from eating eggs. Once you know the truth, there’s no coming back!
1.Fairy Eggs/Fart Eggs
It sometimes happens that an egg is formed of just the white, without any yolk. Since yolks make up for more than half of an egg’s volume, these tiny rejects pop out from the chicken like morning farts. In fact, that’s one of the names for the small eggs – egg farts.
2.Squishy Eggs
These squishy eggs are perfectly normal on the inside but lash the hard shell, probably due to lack of calcium, Vit D, or mama-hen just being stressed out. You can’t really crack this egg or a skillet easily, but boiling it should do it.
3.Resealed Eggs
Sometimes an egg will crack before it gets out, and if there’s enough time and resources, the chicken’s body will try to mend it with another layer of calcium.
