  • For lack of a relevant place to post this:
    On April 19, I collected 7 eggs and my 3-y/o hen Melba released what may classify as a lash egg. There were 8 female guineas of laying age, and 8 egg-like formations (all but one being proper in form).

    Except a certain egg was very unusual: it weighed 66 grams, when the typical weight ranges from 35 to 48g.

    I set it aside in a certain carton with plans to bake with it, since reading that successful incubation of double-yolk eggs is very rare (hesitate to say ‘impossible’).

    Today I broke it open.

    The larger of the two pied keets hatched on day 1 of Av, so I’ve been calling him “Av.”
    He’s generally well-behaved, but I have too many males (and birds in general). Today he & his younger brother—who hatched July 30—have been listed for consignment with the Front Range Small Animal Auction today.

    …I might delete this comment if I can’t contain my emotions.

    And then—the hourlong reversal took place (is taking place). After spending the day in tears I told another attendee it would’ve been kinder to just break their necks.
