Do you know how a hen’s egg is made … exactly?
If you’re a reader of my magazine, MaryJanesFarm, you’ll remember reading the basics of the process in our June-July 2016 “Fresh Egg Overture” issue. But if you’re shyly shaking your head, don’t worry—you aren’t alone (not even close), and I won’t tell.
The appearance of those large and shockingly strong orbs, created in a mere 24-hour time period, is one of nature’s most marvelous mysteries.
Hens won’t tell their secret (I’ve asked—they just cluck coquettishly).

Luckily, I landed upon a nifty little video that gives us an intimate view of the process.
Here’s your farm science lesson for the day:
Hens and eggs are the finest creation in the animal world. Useful, easy to keep, helpful to the Eco system and making breakfast healthy and delicious !
Our Creator is amazing!
I have one of those little egg scales. It sits in my kitchen as part of my “kitchen-y” decor. It was the first one my mom used when I was a teenager and we were gathering, sorting, grading and selling eggs.

Oddly enough I never thought about how an egg was made, but as soon as I read the first sentence I immediately became intrigued. It’s crazy to think how quickly an egg is created and how much work and change occurs within those 24 hours. We have a very mysterious world for sure.
By a chicken, that’s all I need to know. What the girls need to eat to be healthy and lots of fresh water. Then whatever happens, God bless them
