Eggs And Alligators

April 24, 2009

in The Rural Life Contest

Mind you, I'm not talking about alligator eggs!  Two different things here.

The first part, the eggs, are my picture of a little bitty egg we got a while back, beside another egg for comparison. 

Eggs

This little egg syndrome seems to be going around, and several chicken keepers (herders? wardens?) have posted about it, like on "My Little Bit Of Heaven" and at "On The Way To The Critter Farm".  I guess it's just a glitch in the start-up of egg production.

Can you guess what kind of eggs they are?

As for the alligator part of the post, there's a little one in our front yard. 

Small Gator At Large

It would seem he helped himself to a snack. (Or perhaps The Phantom Son assisted him.)  As you can see, he's still got some sort of leftovers in his jaws.

Be the first to tell me exactly what it is, and what kind of eggs are in the picture above, and I'll send you a 5x7 picture of the gator, or any other picture you choose from Rural Ramblings.

Eggs and alligators - life's always interesting around here!

As always, I'll moderate comments so they don't pop up right away, so people can have fun guessing!   Comments and winner will post by Monday.

Eggs. Well, chicken eggs. Just different sizes.

Alligator’s got a strung out rabbit tail or fur in his mouth.

THANKS to everyone who participated in the contest.

The winner is Jenny (she left a reply on the follow-up post). She correctly guessed that it is SHEEP WOOL the alligator has in its’ mouth.

Stay tuned… who knows when another contest will pop up!
