Picture Stories #168 - Interesting Eggs 🥚

in #smartphonephotography7 years ago (edited)

The eggs I've encountered most commonly in my life would have to be a chicken's eggs, and the scenario would possibly be the same for most people. Yet there are so many other birds who lay eggs too (and even reptiles, etc.) - each of which may come in distinct forms and possibly different colors and textures. I encountered the below two interesting looking eggs, one belonging to a condor and the other of an eagle, and although they aren't too unlike the eggs we commonly get to see, they do vary in size, structure and appearance.

The thing I find most interesting about eggs is that they happen to come in different colors, and this is apparently due to the pigment applied when the egg shell is being formed which renders it white, brown, or any other color.

What's your most favorite egg?

Thank you for reading!

in my place in Indonesia, there is a village chicken name. I really like the chicken egg because it is healthy and add protein. I often mix this chicken egg with coffee in the morning. it feels so delicious and makes the mind fresh. I find it hard to get inspiration to write in #steemit, with a cup of coffee mixed with chicken eggs, I again find inspiration writing and always have ideas for me pour.

regards literacy @jznsamuel !!!

chicken eggs are the best :D and that's a nice combination to gain inspiration..

Favorite egg? Hmm... that depends:

  • Quail eggs for eating. They are sold by 16, but they are so small I usually eat all 16 for one meal.
  • The most interesting eggs are the ones that lived to their potential, that is, hatched ones (in form of small animals). Some eggs are transparent, so they are interesting already as eggs (octopus eggs would be my favorite in this category - did you see those tiny tentacles? soo adorable :o) ).
  • When it comes to colors my favorite are minerals cut in the shape of eggs - got close to 100 of these :oP

I've never tried quail eggs :( they do look cute though :D
Yup, I have one of those mineral eggs too ;)

Very true. I've seen blue before! That looks so weird :)

one day my friend brought me an ostrich egg:)) it was an empty shell:)) they were sold as Souvenirs on an ostrich farm:))) perhaps it was the most memorable egg in my life: D

awesome choice :)

Thanks my brother ;)

Отличная статья. Мне очень понравилось. Мое любимое - куриное яйцо, желательно свежее. Удачи Вам и Любви

thanks and i love chicken eggs too ;)

It is interesting how many animals lay an egg, of course it is widely known that all the bird arts even penguins and reptiles. If you would just have found an egg then you have to be cautious and be ready to any surprises, you never know what will hatch out of it.

Eggs are the most interesting things and even until now it is not clear what was first an egg or a chicken :)

Considering chickens come from earlier more reptilian birds that also lay eggs, then we can be sure that the first chicken hatched from an egg that was laid by non-chicken. Therefore egg was first :o)

@jznsamuel So many eggs look so different. Which was your favorite egg out of these shots?
