The Journey of an Egg
Ovulation: A mature yolk is released from the hen's o***y.
Infundibulum: The yolk enters the oviduct and is caught by the infundibulum, a funnel-shaped part. (If a rooster is present, fertilization can happen here).
Magnum: The yolk moves to the magnum, where the thick egg white (albumen) is added around it.
Isthmus: In the isthmus, the inner and outer shell membranes form around the albumen.
Uterus (Shell Gland): The egg spends the most time (around 20 hours) in the uterus, where the hard shell is deposited, giving it its color and spots (if any).
Laying: The finished egg passes through the vent and is laid, usually with the pointy end facing down as it turns just before exiting.

What color of eggs will your chicken lay?
🐓 🥚
What are Easter Egger Chickens? - Chickens that lay "Easter eggs" (blue, green, olive, pink, or speckled) are usually mixed-breed birds known as Easter Eggers, descendants of Araucanas or Ameraucanas, which carry the blue-egg gene crossed with other breeds like Leghorns or Plymouth Rocks. While true Ameraucanas and Araucanas are purebreds that lay blue eggs, most colorful eggs from common hatcheries come from Easter Eggers, offering a variety of pastel shades and patterns.

That string is called a chalaza—pronounced kuh-LAY-zuh. According to the American Egg Board, eggs actually have two chalazae inside their shell. The chalazae are "twisted, cordlike strands of egg white" that anchor the yolk from the top and bottom of the shell membrane, keeping the yolk from getting busted before you crack the egg. In a fresh egg, the chalazae will be especially visible—so don't feel like you need to remove them.

Plus, eggs of the best quality will have prominent chalazae that stand out against the thick white, according to the American Egg Board's standards for Grade AA, Grade A and Grade B eggs. If your eggs have no chalaza at all, they could be growing stale or be lower quality.

Once you cook an egg, the chalazae will disappear into the rest of the egg white, no strategy necessary. But if you're cooking something where you need completely smooth eggs, like a custard or curd, consider removing the chalazae with a fork, the folks at our sister publication MyRecipes suggest.

The next time you fire up the frying pan for an eggy breakfast, feel free to leave that stringy sidekick in place. Since eggs are a complete protein chock-full of health benefits, they're a good vegetarian option for any meal, and egg whites are low in calories and a good source of protein, so the chalazae will add to the punch of protein.

As I was preparing my last jalapeños for the season, I decided to do some investigating. I always worry about feeding the scraps to my chickens thinking they would be too hot!! Are they safe for them to eat? 🌶️🌶️🌶️

The answer is Yes, Jalapeños ARE SAFE for chickens to eat…

*They are immune to the heat: The capsaicin in peppers is meant to deter mammals, not birds, so chickens won't feel any burning sensation.

*It can make egg yolks a deeper orange: Some believe that feeding peppers to chickens can lead to more vibrantly colored egg yolks.

*They can help with deworming: Some people believe that hot peppers can help deworm their flock, but this claim is not widely supported by evidence.
