Both today and a couple weeks ago, we found fish with eggs in them. Why would that be in October and November? I thought spawn in in spring. I thought maybe it is the eggs starting to devolp to be mature enought for spring. But they looked ready to go.

LOL! I saw this title "Eggs in winter?" and got all excited. I thought maybe you had found a way to make chickens lay eggs during the winter!

Most fish can breed several times each year if all the conditions are right...

Some fish retain eggs all year long, even when not ready to spawn. It is very common, especially in warmer climates.

Good One!!!!! My chicken's eggs are a little easier to find, though .... their eggs are brown. ;D Now, when I had a lot of ducks, I had fresh eggs most of the winter. They don't seem to know when to quit laying, lol. . . . . . . I heard that ... before you go saying "Yuk!" too quickly, answer me this ... Just where on that egg carton (from the store) does it say that those are chicken eggs?  I bet you just went and looked in your fridge. |

My parents had a duck one time. That thing laid eggs coming and going. Dad would try to get me to eat them. It was after I had kids of my own. I refused . Thought it was gross. He'd say, "but you don't mind eating chicken eggs" I just had a mental block about eating those duck eggs.

I have eaten chicken eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs, and actually got my kids to try them all, too. One Easter I had an abundance of goose eggs and made deviled eggs out of a few. They sure were a hit on the big family dinner table! They went fast. Sometimes, the yolk in a duck egg is a little on the green side. My kids loved that, too because about that time we had our own ham (from the pig we raised) and they called it their "Dr. Seuss" meal ..... green eggs & ham. Same went for the green chicken eggs. |

Mother Earth had a excellent long detailed article on eggs with pictures of eggs that had alot of red in the yoke. It was about 6 months ago.

I always heard that it is bad luck if you break open an egg that has blood in it.

I have had a few eggs with yolks so deeply orange that they were nearly red ..... was told it was from what they were eating, that they were supposedly full of a lot more nutrition. That Mother Earth News is a GREAT site! I have gotten a lot of great information there on a lot of topics. It always makes me sad when I crack one open with blood veins in it, because it means that it had been fertilized and was starting to incubate .... and it would have been a chicken if I hadn't cracked it open. But, if it was on it's way to being chicken, would that mean that it was higher in protein? . . . . and at what point would it be considered meat, you would wonder. |
