marbear81 · May 2009

GladToBeMrs.SRS · May 2009

My eyes just got all scrunchy. What on earth are you talking about?!

LOL!

papagena · May 2009

?!?! huh? What kind of eggs are you de-sperming?? Never heard of it...

lytedark · May 2009

i'm so lost. do you mean food eggs? like from chickens? if that's the case no because i have no clue what it is?

SapphyrEyes · May 2009

I'm sorry....What? I've never heard of this. I usually separate the cord from the egg with two spoons and throw that in the trash.

luvlieK · May 2009

tinamichelle · May 2009

I'm intrigued and grossed out at the same time LOL!

Yes.. food eggs.. from chicken..

theres a white thing on the yolk... what is it?

babybird7 · May 2009

Enlighten us please. Inquiring minds want to know.

papagena · May 2009

ewww... no - chicken eggs are unfertilized, completely!! The yolk is what would have been the chick ( *sniff* ) and the white stuff is (I believe) called ambium/albium or something like that? It's what the growing chick fetus would have used for food, since it's not attached to mama. The cord would have been the umbilical chord, I blieve, but I always find that too hard to notice.

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

sorry...can't.stop.laughing.

Ok. The white thing is just a fibrous attachment that keeps the yolk suspended within the white to protect it from damage. Sperm comes from roosters.

::snicker::

Hope that helps!

::giggle::

You can use the shell to remove the chorion (white thingie).

K?

ohh, ok Idea that makes sense.....

I can see this is going to be a popular read post, lol

papagena · May 2009

- just be happy you asked it here!

I may have been wrong about the chord - Glad's answer sounds right.

SapphyrEyes · May 2009

Yes, the white thing is the cord that keeps the sac attached to the wall of the egg shell or at that's what I remember from 5th grade science class when we hatched chicks. You just take two spoons and grab the cord as close to the sac as possible, pull and toss. Really you don't have to do this, but I do when I'm baking because it will inevitably be at the top of what I'm baking and then it doesn't look as pretty.

Awww...mar...you're such a good sport. We PPH you. I personally found this thread adorable. You probably ought to let your mom know she led you astray, though.

((hugs))

Temp76535187505890 · May 2009

I'm sure there's tons of things I was lead atray on growing up that I just take for granted.

my grandma always told me that too. i've taken it out since i was a kid baking. it always grossed me out.

goinggreengirl · May 2009

LOL at this post!

andrealynn0707 · May 2009

I think a phone call to your mom is in order! Also, unless you are buying your eggs directly from a local person, I doubt they have many roosters running around

smurfetteinred · May 2009

Do you know I still don't know what the white thing you guys are talking about is! And I make eggs for ds almost every morning! It makes me want to go crack the one egg we have in the fridge but that would be a waste.

AlishaRichelle · May 2009

I have to admit... when I started reading through, I first thought "that's what that is?!?!"

We called them goobers ?
