To get everyone in the Easter spirit, I'm going to share some FUN and EXCITING egg facts. Now, I'm no Megan, but hopefully my random Google searches get you in the mood for egg hunting.
1. Hens can only lay one egg per day, but will go some days without laying any eggs at all!
2. Whale sharks have the largest eggs, however they typically hatch from within the mother.
3. The largest laid egg goes to the ostrich.
4. All dinosaurs likely laid eggs.
5. The most commonly cooked egg is scrambled. I personally prefer mine over hard.
6. When looking from the right angle, Survivor8 has a head that is shaped like an egg.
7. White eggs are laid by white-feathered chickens, while brown eggs are laid by red-feathered chickens.
8. Throwing eggs at houses or people started in the middle ages as a form of humiliation for prisoners, carried into theatre, and has since become the cultural phenomenon we know it as today.
9. The yolk and the egg white have roughly the same amount of protein.
10. Some guy once made 427 omelettes in 30 minutes.
Thanks for subscribing to egg facts! I will never be doing this again. Don't fact check me I plagiarized about 8 different websites.
