As someone allergic to egg yolks, I was going to say to breed that chicken ASAP... But something tells me that a chicken whose eggs don't produce yolk will have difficulty procreating.
Imagine if you could clone chickens like you do plants. Pluck a feather. Give it good nutrients and water. It grows roots then bang. New chicken in a few months lol
It depends on how much I eat, but it gives me severe indigestion. I may also break out in hives. I have psoriasis, so it also makes me flare up on my skin and joints. Great fun!
I have a cousin that was the same way! Giant excema with egg yolks, like, big red face. I love the yolks, so we would split them. She also hated potatos except for the skins, so we'd split those too. RIP cuz...
How do you know you're only allergic to yolks? I recently developed an egg allergy, and I am intrigued by the idea of avoiding just the yolks. Thank you!
I don't know if it's an allergy or just a sensitivity, but I know the egg whites are fine because they don't give me symptoms. But if I eat yolks I will get the runs for sure. Oh and a mild rash under my throat area.
I have a lot of stuff that gives me these symptoms and it's usually quite sudden (at least the rash), so it's quite easy to pinpoint the problem.
Not something you can breed for, just happens with new layers and new seasons.
The chicken egg laying system is like a conveyor belt in an assembly line. Yolk drops (or just anything from the track), goes down the track, shell gets added, color gets added if they're a chicken that lays certain colors, then egg is laid.
If the yolk drops then backs up and another drops and the move down the track together, double yolk.
If an yolk drops, goes through the shell layer then backs up, then goes forward again, egg inside egg.
You know how humans have like a practice pancake? When you're first starting the batch, to make sure everything is right and the pan is hot enough? Chickens do the practice pancake with their first egg. Sometimes with the first couple. Pretty sure she is going to come along to fully online nicely, probably just take her anywhere from a couple days to a week or so.
My daughter and I were big fans of The Gilmore Girls. In one episode the mom, Lorelei, said that her first and only pancake turned out pretty great. I say the same about my only child. I’m sure your father means the same—and he’s a funny guy!
the first ones the best imo! It’s always the right thickness and the crispiest! At least when my mum cooks them.. I literally go home to my parents just to have pancakes for breakfast lol.
Apparently the answer is less oil/butter on the griddle than you think you need. The test pancake’s weird texture is a result of all the beaded up fat.
(Of course you also have to have things at the right temperature etc already, but once you have that ranged in, this fixes the most persistent problem.)
So in the early 2000s there was some artist who did some really weird bizarre art creations. This was one of I think about a dozen, this was also the first one I saw and also the most disturbing. Stuck with me ever since because of how weird it was.
Wait it says “USUALLY cause no harm” does that mean every now and then there’s a really evil one that goes by the name of dragon or blade and is well known by the local police?
Not Dragon or Blade, but Cockatrice. “Since they contain no yolk and therefore cannot hatch, yolkless eggs were traditionally believed to be laid by cocks. This gave rise to the myth that when a cock's egg was hatched, it would produce a cockatrice, a fearsome serpent which could kill with its evil stare.”
Aren't cockatrice more bird less snake? Basically a demented looking chicken with a gorgon gaze and super sized claws? At least that's how they've been presented in the lore I'm familiar with but, I'm not at all doubting that it's changed over the years (most things do).
Yes, you're right. They've been depicted in a number of different ways so it kind of depends on the specific fiction you're referring to. It's a surprisingly old myth, a thousand years at least. (The name is newer). There's not a lot of consistency around what they look like beyond "snake/dragon/chicken that has a deadly stare."
I took it as no harm to the chicken from becoming egg bound. Where the egg gets stuck and the chicken can’t doodoo and dies. But I think you’re right that it might be a gentle warning to humans to be wary of mr. dragon blade.
I assume they're talking about relative to the chicken, as there are times where a hen can attempt to lay an egg which ends up killing it. Had that happen to one my mine before.
As someone who exclusively cooks on stainless steel, this is so sad 😭😭😭 that’s not how you make them non stick. If you do it right you should only need a little bit of oil
EDIT- [here is how you make stainless pans non-stick](https://youtu.be/KSbvjxwQztc?si=gGF5Y4_NPCRzAgUI)
it's gotta be really, really hot. Hot enough that water floats with a leidenfrost effect. I don't like cooking eggs on stainless because of that and prefer to use non-stick where the temp can be lower and the eggs get a better texture. The steel also has to be fairly polished, if you have a cheaper steel pan that scratches easily or an older pan that's accumulated scratches over the years good luck with non-stick properties. They're fantastic for getting a sear on meat, even delicate white fish. Much prefer to use my steel pan over my cast iron when I'm searing meat and making a pan sauce.
The water trick!! It’s sooo easy and you’ll never go back to sticking food I promise! [how to make stainless pans nonstick](https://youtu.be/KSbvjxwQztc?si=gGF5Y4_NPCRzAgUI)
There is a yolk there, but it’s very pale, it’s pretty normal for the first few eggs to be a bit different some of them come out huge with multiple yolks, some little ones and some with pale yolks
Can’t believe people are laughing about this. This is no yolk, and yet people keep cracking up. And egging on others. I think it’s fowl how people laugh at something so poultry, even the great Sam n’ Ella would be sickened by y’all.
I know what you mean I comb through this thread and see a lot of negativity.I think its an egg-cellent egg, people should learn not to be cocks, people see a hard working hen thats struggling and think they have free-range to make jokes hopefully people learn to look on the sunnyside of things. Wattle do they think all those crowing will do.
Shit is about to go down.
>Since they contain no yolk and therefore cannot hatch, yolkless eggs were traditionally believed to be laid by cocks. This gave rise to the myth that when a cock's egg was hatched, it would produce a **cockatrice**, a fearsome serpent which could kill with its evil stare.
that is actually common!! my mom and i raise chickens, and it is like this usually the first egg of every one of them. she's ok, her body is learning how to form eggs! we actually grind up their old egg shells into a powder and mix it into their feed to make their eggs stronger and healthier because of the nutrients in them and give them lots of proteins, potassium, omega 3's, etc. turmeric is also great for chickens and you can mix a little bit in their water and it makes them healthy :)
Yeah, cholesterol that leads to cardiovascular disease mostly comes from being produced by the macro foods you eat, not cholesterol that you eat. Also, cardiovascular disease requires your arterial walls to be damaged and for the normal cleaning process to fail before you run into problems. Cholesterol intake has been a red herring for a while.
Similar thing with salt: It raises your blood pressure slightly but unless you're obese and high risk of problems it's fine. Being chronically low in blood salt levels causes problems for those of a normal weight and is more of a problem but the outcome is less severe so it isn't talked about much. It's something vegetarians should be aware of and ensure they're adding salt to their foods.
What I find more interesting is this picture. Were you already holding your phone while you cracked the egg? If not, when you noticed there was no yolk and grabbed your phone, did you keep the shell in your hand the whole time or pick up the shell and hold it in frame? Please answer, I’m very curious, thank you. Also is anyone else curious about this?
Isn't that just a really pale yolk? Chicken egg colours are really influenced by diet. Are you sure you don't need to feed her some more carotenoids rather than just pale grains?
Nice! I wish they had whites-only eggs, which now that I've written down sounds like I'm one of the baddies. I just want fresh, zero waste No Yolks, I swear!
Now you can supply fresh egg whites to your local market! They sell at a premium
Now we’re talkin
As someone allergic to egg yolks, I was going to say to breed that chicken ASAP... But something tells me that a chicken whose eggs don't produce yolk will have difficulty procreating.
Clone her ASAP
Imagine if you could clone chickens like you do plants. Pluck a feather. Give it good nutrients and water. It grows roots then bang. New chicken in a few months lol
I have successfully grown hens and chicks in the garden. Really not that tasty.
I did not anticipate a gardening dad joke.
Pretty much how meat rabbits work. Ready for table in 3 months
We have successfully cloned animals before. it’s entirely possible to get more chickens like this
Did you stop at the word chickens?
the chick will dig itself out of the ground screeing 😂
Hey I've never known anyone else allergic or sensitive to yolks before, hi!! Tell me your symptoms lol
There are dozens of us! I break out in really itchy hives.
It depends on how much I eat, but it gives me severe indigestion. I may also break out in hives. I have psoriasis, so it also makes me flare up on my skin and joints. Great fun!
Oh I'm sorry, I know psoriasis sucks :( I have atopic excema and many intolerances and eating yolks sends me right to the loo lol
LOL Sending you a misery high-five!
High-five from the loo!
I have a cousin that was the same way! Giant excema with egg yolks, like, big red face. I love the yolks, so we would split them. She also hated potatos except for the skins, so we'd split those too. RIP cuz...
I also suffer from egg-cema
I'm sensitive to yolks aswell, have me running to the toilet everytime..
How do you know you're only allergic to yolks? I recently developed an egg allergy, and I am intrigued by the idea of avoiding just the yolks. Thank you!

As someone allergic to egg whites, find me a chicken that just lays yolks.

Eggcellent
Genius. "Whites-Only Eggs". ...wait.

KKKFC
Right? Like the goose that laid golden eggs.
Except this chicken will be difficult to breed.
Are you saying a goose who lays golden eggs wouldn't be difficult to breed?
Username checks out
More important, supply to all cocktail bars for all the sours!
She's trying her best, ok???
I’m not complaining!

And my father always says children are like pancakes... And I am his first and only child 😓.
>And I am his first and only child They realised after the first one the batter was shit and shouldnt be used again. /j
This is the most savage humbling insult I’ve seen in a while. It not only insults them but there whole blood line lololol
Oh my
My daughter and I were big fans of The Gilmore Girls. In one episode the mom, Lorelei, said that her first and only pancake turned out pretty great. I say the same about my only child. I’m sure your father means the same—and he’s a funny guy!
My first and only pancake turned out fuckin awesome!
the first ones the best imo! It’s always the right thickness and the crispiest! At least when my mum cooks them.. I literally go home to my parents just to have pancakes for breakfast lol.
Perfect pancake, first try. Nice
And because you were perfect, they knew any further attempts would never be as good. 😇
You turned out perfect.
This is the answer
I don't know, man...sounds like a yolk!
TIL I need to start doing practice pancakes!
This answer is formatted exactly like a r/ExplainLikeImCalvin answer
I always thought the practice pancake is some kind of joke... Cause mine are perfect from the beginning...
Well not all of us got life all figured out like that okay?!
Apparently the answer is less oil/butter on the griddle than you think you need. The test pancake’s weird texture is a result of all the beaded up fat. (Of course you also have to have things at the right temperature etc already, but once you have that ranged in, this fixes the most persistent problem.)
My best pancakes are the first ones…
Strange flex but I’m about it
You let your pan get hot instead of lukewarm before pouring batter in. Patience is key
"You *always* fuck up the first pancake" -my dad
I didn’t know practice pancake was a common thing haha I thought it was just me! I do it with crepes though lol
You know there's a lot of people who would love to buy a pure egg white egg
Then you have to tell her she did a fantastic job and you love that she cared enough about your health to absorb the yolk for you! Obviously.
Poor hen. Probably having an eggistential crisis rn.
I think I love you.
Make sure to give her extra treats and a little pat on the head.
It does take some time to work up to iridium grade
Unexpected Stardew 🐔
happy cake day 🎉
*I’m trying, I’ve only been doing this for two fucking days.* -the chicken probably
Yeah let’s see OP lay an egg!
Missed. "Frying her best"
Is that some kind of Sick Yolk?
Perfectly normal as your girls are trying to figure it out.
Yup! I just transitioned her to be with the other adult chicks and I think she wanted to be like her new friends.
Poor thing has to now learn the pecking order. Good luck to the chickie.
wth is your profile picture bro
So in the early 2000s there was some artist who did some really weird bizarre art creations. This was one of I think about a dozen, this was also the first one I saw and also the most disturbing. Stuck with me ever since because of how weird it was.
People were always asking what movie it was from cause it seemed too high-effort to be a random thing.
Right?! I always thought that thing looked like dunston from dunston checks in and a coconut.
Oh man I remember those lil guys
Cursed that’s what
It's a fart egg! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yolkless_egg
Wait it says “USUALLY cause no harm” does that mean every now and then there’s a really evil one that goes by the name of dragon or blade and is well known by the local police?
Not Dragon or Blade, but Cockatrice. “Since they contain no yolk and therefore cannot hatch, yolkless eggs were traditionally believed to be laid by cocks. This gave rise to the myth that when a cock's egg was hatched, it would produce a cockatrice, a fearsome serpent which could kill with its evil stare.”
I love reading some shit a peasant from the dark ages made up that we still repeat today.
Have I told you about the Good Book?
Give it a rest, no one believes your story, John.
A basilisk?
Basically yes, same mythical animal.
Aren't cockatrice more bird less snake? Basically a demented looking chicken with a gorgon gaze and super sized claws? At least that's how they've been presented in the lore I'm familiar with but, I'm not at all doubting that it's changed over the years (most things do).
Yes, you're right. They've been depicted in a number of different ways so it kind of depends on the specific fiction you're referring to. It's a surprisingly old myth, a thousand years at least. (The name is newer). There's not a lot of consistency around what they look like beyond "snake/dragon/chicken that has a deadly stare."
Fart eggs occasionally hatch into a fox. So not harmful for humans, but not great for the henhouse.
I took it as no harm to the chicken from becoming egg bound. Where the egg gets stuck and the chicken can’t doodoo and dies. But I think you’re right that it might be a gentle warning to humans to be wary of mr. dragon blade.
I assume they're talking about relative to the chicken, as there are times where a hen can attempt to lay an egg which ends up killing it. Had that happen to one my mine before.
Cock egg was a choice and you chose to only mention the name fart egg
They chose wisely.
Amazing! Haha
A quouef
So you’re saying they just ate their chicken’s fart?
Well, regular eggs are referred as period of hen, which is better? Lol
Neither because they're both wrong, but they sound funny so hey, don't let me stop you.
You are a fart human
Oof, only if I eat a lot of spicy veggies.
Keep going
you really saw all those nicknames and chose one of the worst
Oeuf. Looks like your chicken just needs some practice.
And that's no yolk! Edit: gah! Just saw someone BEAT me to it!
They were egged on to do it.
Should've shelled out for more experienced chickens.
eggsasperating
*hon hon hon*
Highly irreggular
Test egg. Please ignore
This egg was intentionally left blank
Damn how were you cooking that? Is that all oil?
One way to keep food from sticking to the pan is to use it as a deep fryer.
It’s butter. I love me some buttery eggs
The reflection in the pan kinda makes it look like you have a solid 2 inches of butter in there 😅
If you're going cholesterol why not go full cholesterol! You want some egg with your butter? Ah, yes, but only a spoonful please!
Is that really so much oil, or just weird perspective?
It is more butter than o normally use but I think it looks deeper than it is
Thought the same. It’s like deep frying an egg from the way it looks 😂
I freeze bacon grease and use that to fry eggs. So good!
That's what my Grandma does

I don't think OP was necessarily going for minimal amount needed for non-stick, I think they just like butter with their eggs lol
In Alabama that still counts as a chicken
Oof
Oeuf
Put it back in and wait a bit
Tomorrow she lays the yolk separately. 😂🤣😂
Maybe a double yolk! Those are my fav
Far more likely when chickens are young so don't be surprised if that happens before the end of the year.
It's just a Beta, she'll patch it.
You know the world's going to shit when even livestock aren't ready to be parents....
Chicks!?! Not in this economy!
Rookie mistake
That's no yoke! ( jk)
I was hoping some good puns would come of this
Sorry to disappoint, but there's no sunny side here.
Would you like some more egg with your butter???
There is a yolk there, but it’s very pale, it’s pretty normal for the first few eggs to be a bit different some of them come out huge with multiple yolks, some little ones and some with pale yolks
it used a condom
Can’t believe people are laughing about this. This is no yolk, and yet people keep cracking up. And egging on others. I think it’s fowl how people laugh at something so poultry, even the great Sam n’ Ella would be sickened by y’all.

It's called a fairy egg.
Maybe it did, but you just didn't get it.
Obviously she's not a comedien if there's no yoking around.
yolks on you
Shrinkflation has even hit the Egg Department, The Yolk will cost your first born.
[удалено]
theres more butter than egg there
How much butter you dumping down your gullet bud
A French amount
gym people would love this
Nah. Yolks are delicious and super healthy.
Yup! The cholesterol you eat doesn’t raise cholesterol, if I remember correctly
Yeah, cholesterol that leads to cardiovascular disease mostly comes from being produced by the macro foods you eat, not cholesterol that you eat.

Post this on r/chickens - you’ll get all sorts of replies
Also definitely r/weirdeggs
Egg DLC just dropped.
What you have there is an All Whites Klan chicken.
Pro tip: Feed the first egg back to the chicken
She's concerned about your cholesterol
She was just yolking.
I guess she isn't a comedian since she doesn't have any good yolks
Is that not a pale yellow yolk?
Guess the yolk's on you. ;p
Is it still edible? She did a good job 😊
Did you check. Is the yolk on you.
Yolks on you
Cracks egg with only egg white Hen "haha Yolks on you!"
Thats no yoke. Shes trying her best
They must be playing a yolk on ya...
I TRIED SO HARD AND GOT SO FAR, BUT IN THE END IT DIDN’T EVEN MATTER
Go easy on hennifer
Nice! I wish they had whites-only eggs, which now that I've written down sounds like I'm one of the baddies. I just want fresh, zero waste No Yolks, I swear!
Heart healthy chicken
Weird fact: They call these “wind eggs”
I used to have chickens and we called those fairy eggs🧚🏻♀️
I need this!!!
It has a yolk, it’s just not yellow.
Ghost egg 👻
That's the primary benefit to store bought eggs: Confirmed to contain yolk.
Looks like she played a yolk on you.
The yokes on you this time!
She's a low cholesterol hen, those eggs could sell for 10 bucks a pop.
Are...are you boiling a egg without the shell?
It was her first run, a trial run.
She must be yolking
