Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Wrinkled Eggs

These eggs appear to have ridges or wrinkled surfaces. Overcrowding, which results in stressed hens, can cause this abnormality. It also can be seen when a hen’s shell gland is defective or if the flock has infectious bronchitis. Wrinkles can result in weakened shells. Based on USDA standards for exterior eggshell quality, a wrinkled egg is downgraded to Grade B.

my first guess was a plaster egg. you use them to keep the hen brooding, even if you took her eggs, but if that thing came out of a hen, sorry, babe
