Beaker, the brave, the fave, the ancient-in-chicken-terms chicken finally got around to laying her first egg… and, oh man, was it ever a doozy:
On the left is a Little Red egg. In the right, Beaker’s first, giant egg.
Large and in charge, indeed. She laid another yesterday, and it was much more normally sized and a darker green. We shall see what they end up looking like in the long-run.
Left to right: Boo, Little Red, Beaker, Edgar, and Dino Puppy.
Now to find out what’s in it. Multiple yolks? An alien, like those creepy swimming pool pods in Cocoon (I have nightmares about those pods)? Here’s one possibility, brought to my attention by my fantastic friend, Alina, up in Seattle. I would like to do a similar video, but I fear that my Chicago accent wouldn’t be nearly as charming as this fellow’s Australian accent… and there’s probably not anything THIS exciting in Beaker’s first egg.
That was pretty cool, but this bloke is not an Aussie. He is a pom. The whole family liked that one, and now I have to explain to my 4 how it could have happened!
So I tried Googling “pom” because I have no idea what it is, but I didn’t want to admit it!
To be fair, I’m not very good with accents. I always try to do accents – and always, always botch them.
