The Ostrich
egg is the largest egg in the world. It can weigh up to five pounds.
The average hen lays about thirty-five eggs a year. The Ostrich egg
is very edible, but boy is it big. One Ostrich egg is equivalent to
twenty-four chicken eggs. It only takes only one to really fill up a
frying pan.
An Ostrich Egg is very large, approximately 5-6 inches
in diameter and 6-7 inches tall. Unlike a chicken egg, an Ostrich egg is
really tough. The shell is about 1/8th inch thick. Although
made of Calcium, they feel like fine ceramic. They are very popular
for crafts. The thick shell permits engraving and the smooth surface
is great for painting. Great item for your nature collection. |

Our ostrich
eggs are empty. A small hole was drilled in the bottom and the
yolk and white were removed. They have been thoroughly cleaned, both
outside and inside, so there is no danger of spoilage.
