Helen CzerskiEggs used to have a round end and a pointy end. I have been noticing, over the past few months, that increasingly I have to really look hard to see which is which. Is someone doing something weird to chickens that increases the symmetry?
Stephan Matthiesen@helenczerski I noticed it the other day too, but didn't think more about it. But now that you mention it, that's really an interesting question.
the kangaroo@StephanMatthiesen @helenczerski since decades they live not in natural environments and conditions. So no benefit for chicken to spend energy in asymmetric egs. They do not incubate the egs in nests. So the main purpose of the eggs form is to be easy an save transported via conveyor belt's and fit into cartons. So I would not wonder if they become even more symeyric in the future.
