No problem. I get curious myself so figure it nice to share with people that don’t tell me they’re not interested in useless facts.

Looks sound chops

Thought I would identify my current location using what three words.

I am not an eggspert but after a quick search it seems many bird eggs are green in colour due to a pigment called biliverdin.

Interestingly verde is green in Spanish.

That’s eggcellent and I’m eggstatic that you enjoyed. Come back next Easter for more egg facts.

Ugh… it is better too. 😔

Even with it being much warmer I believe it would still be difficult to keep at a uniform temperature.

Here is what I found:

• The shell must be strong enough to support the egg’s weight and protect the embryo, but thin enough for the chick to break through when hatching.
• As size increases, the weight grows cubically (volume), but shell strength only increases quadratically (surface area), so there’s a point where the shell would have to be too thick to hatch from.
• The distance from the shell to the center increases.
• Oxygen diffusion becomes inefficient, and the embryo could suffocate.
• Larger eggs are harder to keep at a uniform temperature.
• Birds incubating the eggs would need to generate and distribute more heat, which is physically demanding.

I got curious and your assumption is correct for one of the limiting factors.

How did we get here?
