Back when I lived in DC, going to a Walmart was a big trip.


I live near Courthouse today and was about to post that it's still that way. Thought I'd better check to be certain and sonofabitch there's a new one right down Mass Ave and H, just on the other side of the 395 tunnel.

If this happens again and you are man enough to own and use a cast iron skillet. Take the skillet, heat it slowly for about 3 minutes on medium. Carefully take the hot skillet and smash yourself in the nuts with it. You should never fertilize an egg.

Commercial eggs are layed by chickens without roosters. Since roosters do not lay eggs and egg laying breeds of roosters are scrawny things, feeding and housing them is not economical. No rooster -no chick. The hard part of egg shells is calcium carbonate. The amount of this varies over time, from chicken to chicken, from breed to breed, but mostly from the chicken's food. Commercial chicken rations are formulated to meet chicken health, egg production, and egg quality as cheaply as possible. Commercial chicken egg shells are generally not as strong as free ranged chickens. Many reasons, this egg will not be sat on, people don't eat the shell, and why waste calcium beyond what is needed to get the egg from the farm to your frying pan. A free range chicken will eat as many pebbles, worms, and snails as they can find. Your egg probably just had more calcium. As far as the brand, silly. Every egg is an individual biological event. Every egg is unique. Buy the cheapest eggs available and inspect them for cracks before buying.


Very informative. I like eggs...from my head down to my legs.

You sure do know lots about chicken eggs baw. This thing is legit solid. You telling me it's just a bunch of calcium carbonate?


Could it be possible that it is a replica of an egg that was accidentally packaged as a real one? We have had chickens and you can buy fake ceramic (or some other material) eggs that you place in the nest to encourage the hens to lay their eggs in the nest?

They come in different colors and are supposed to have the weight look and feel of a real egg. They are often called "nest eggs".

I have no idea if commercial egg producers use such things though.

You definitely have to update the thread with pics. I am genuinely curious as to what the heck is going on with that egg.
