April 25, 2012 Sunny Side Up

[SIZE="2"]No sunny side up for this little egg . . .



It is just a . . . thing . . . that was probably laid by an older hen.

This is probably a blood clot from either a cut in the oviduct or a bleeding follicle that grew large enough to be treated like an egg yolk. It ended up in the oviduct and the hen coated it with albumen and shell.

Found on Geek-O-System[/SIZE]

Ohh...I feel ill. I don;t think I am going to eat any eggs for a long time.

Tiz a real bummer when you crack things like that into your cake batter or something. eeeeuuwww.

My mom would just be like "oh I'll eat that one".....

Yiiiiiiiiick!

Hey, it's all protein. :yum: add a dash of chilli sauce.


J/K :vomit:

I'll bet that somewhere in the Orient that's a delicacy.

Interesting. But not food.

If we add jalapenos Flint will eat it.

For $50 I'll eat it.

Was it any good?

And that, dear spuck, is why eggs get cracked one at a time into a separate bowl, and each egg is added to the batter before cracking the next.

US factory egg production usually lets us avoid eggs that are anything but pristine in appearance. The chickens may not be happy, but we do get a consistent product.

you have to admit it's more fun to crack all the eggs at one time though.

Indeed. Proper candling would have prevented this rotten egg from making it through.

I want to work there.

She's an educated eggdicator.

Maybe this is the result of candling only one in twelve thousand eggs.

bleurgh!

You mean like cows?

Right. Maybe that was from the chicken that ate the dead crazy cow.

Funny thing. This is exactly what I'm working on this month.

I'm working on an egg loader. It takes 6 flats of 30 eggs, picks up 30 eggs at a time and sets them on the grader perfectly timed to land between the rollers. Then they run thru the washer into the candler just like the above picture. Fun project.

That's really cool! I am always very impressed when I see video of production line machinery at work. It's so complicated, and somebody spent so much time making it all work smoothly.

It's people like you who help make civilization possible.

What really impresses me is handling large volumes of such a delicate product quickly. When I look at a standard production line and imagine something like eggs going through it...:eek:

This does concern me... They want the 30 eggs moved onto the conveyor every 3 seconds. Sounds like a long time until you realize this is picking them up, lifting them 4", moving them about 2.5 feet, synchronizing to the conveyor, setting them down. and reversing all the above to get back to pick up the next 30. And not forgetting the fact that the machinery has to decelerate and accelerate at all end points... :thepain: I'll be breaking some eggs fore shore.. :D
