Stabs 3 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 when we used to go nesting, an egg that was "gollied" ie. the chick was forming, was a floater and was left. A sinker was good to blow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lurcherbitch Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 So if it floats, i'm killing a chick n thats fresh, n if it sinks i should give it the dogs :11: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stabs 3 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Other way around.....if it sinks then the chick hasn't started forming so it's fresher. Actually that whole test was to see if you could blow the egg as you obviously couldn't blow one with a part formed chick inside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stabs 3 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 When egg collecting was legal, you'd take the egg, make a pin prick in the top and bottom and "blow" the yolk out so you just had the shell for your collection. That's how they keep otherwise you'd have an egg with rotten yolk inside and it wouldn't half pong a bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
