PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month agoHey funny you mention it, I’ve had that a bit with eggs lately. I crack a lot of eggs for work when I’m pasta making, and I’ve had some batches that with a light tap just completely fragment and deposit the egg where I didn’t want it. Also some I had recently were oddly hard to crack with a super strong shell.

I’m only lucky for some odd reason that I didn’t have any bits of shell in whatever bits of the egg that managed to make it into the frying pan.
It was so weird how the shell basically just crumbled and collapsed on itself.

I think it’s from a very young chicken, I may be wrong.

Possibly the egg producers were skimping on the oyster grit that the chickens need for the calcium to build strong shells, or the chickens didn’t get enough access to the grit. Given the current state of affairs with bird flu etc., I can’t really blame the egg producers for occasionally getting the feed mix a bit wrong.
