Dropped a Hatching Egg?

I dropped a pretty egg a couple weeks ago and thought, what have I got to lose? I slathered it with Elmer’s glue and popped her in.

Here she is at Day 10, developing nicely.

Also, what a great reminder of how much lighting alters the color of a photographed egg. If you are buying hatching eggs online, it’s best to make sure the pictures show the egg next to a club color card; the lighting will impact the egg and the color card in the same way so you can get a sense of true color.
