No; I didn't know that, either. I suppose the ethos of chickens would therefore be centered upon pre-determination, rather than free will. I'm still curious to what sage said about what causes chicken eggs to color. I assumed it was the breed of the chicken. I guess I was wrong......bobford

easily be 1/4 ib. also. Your blog pic said that all eggs

that explain "blue" or "brown" eggs. What causes the color?
Egg talk is fun. Did you know that the nucleus of every egg
a hen will ever lay is within her when she emerges from the
shell?
