Yes, indeed a bit of a country boy. The mail man would bring a box to the door shipped from Sears Roebuck; the box contained 50 peepers. Each morning before school I fed and watered them, then collected eggs which I delivered them to neighbors in a mile radius area. It was WW2 and Eggs and meat were precious, and in fact was rationed, except for the one2one market. I was a bit of an outcast as a child, my shoes smelled of chicken poop while ever one else smelled like cow manure.

If you served me anything other than #1 (which is how they really look) I would lose them before I even ate 'em. YUK!

But I'll take two of #1,over easy, with 2 crispy bacon slices, 2 well cooked sausage links, and some nice country hash browns and a mug of black coffee. Deliver them to my table at 6:00 AM tomorrow please. Don't be late...I like my breakfast HOT! So bring the bottle of Hot Sauce with you too. YUM!

THANK YOU!!!

Yep, me too, but if I were to have an incurable condition, I would have them fried in bacon grease filled with chips of bacon!

Pontiac Michigan, When I lived in Flint, Michigan was a state and not a Dictatorship!! The present Governor perhaps watched too many of the movies of the 1930 about unions. Pontiac got a good deal for the stadium.. $500,000 and then the appointed sub-dictator quit the job and went with the guy who bought the stadium.... how sad the changes! Others, check the history of the Michigan takeover... Maddow MSNBC has it well documented. Whatcha thank bull drink water

i had to sit by and watch that crap,and the courts could do nothing to reverse it.now the governors agent is disbanding anothers citys counsil. however that being said we had some piss poor mayors in pontiac and alot opf city department workers who didn't know squat, to pay our water bills we had to send the money to chicago il. how about that.

A country boy you may be, but I have to weigh in here. The stringy white stuff in the chicken egg is not an embryo and has nothing to do with 'courting'. It is called chalazae and it is what anchors the yolk in the center of the egg white. Now, less you do not believe me, check with any egg farm. Even when there has never been a rooster on the premises, the egg will still have chalazae. There is no need to remove it.

LouEllen, thank you, "egg will still have chalazae", is that where the chick would be attached to the yoke food source? We all get educated in these forums on subject other than photography. Biology, in the Ag oriented school, was in 1951!! LLL, life long learning is an addiction that keeps our minds supple and young.

Now I know the meaning of chalazae and will no longer wonder where that girls first name means, you must admit that it has a nice sound. Perhaps the did not know the meaning. I grew up in a 1940-50s world of Dick, Jane, Sally; so when I teach I do not attempt to read the roll aloud.

LouEllen

The chick starts to form from a 'disc' on the yolk. As far as I know, the chalazae only function as stabilizers.

My dear mother always removed the chalazae. She called it the 'rooster'. And she was definitely a country girl. On a real farm, there usually is a rooster so how would a farm kid know what happens when there is no rooster around? LOL
