This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

IMHO really rare, but then happened with several eggs from the same batch.

I believe that some chickens are much more likely to produce them so it's not as unusual that if you find one to find another one in the same batch

I think it's related to the age of the hens, more common with the younger ones. Chances are there are others in the flock that are the same age, so that would make sense.
