Since we were visiting people this past weekend and everyone had eggs all over the place for Easter, we decided to loot some refrigerators and do an experiement. Or, should I say, an eggsperiment.
I conducted the eggsperiment using the steps of the highly scientific Scientific Method, as listed by Wikipedia.
Define the question:
How much more kickass are our chickens' eggs than gross white store eggs or organic, free-range store eggs?
Gather information and resources (observe):
Resources: My mom stole the white egg, and we stole the organic, free-range egg from my mom. The huge egg came from our birds, obviously. Information gathered: Our chickens lay huge eggs.
Form hypothesis:
Our chicken's egg is gonna taste sooo gooood. Conversely, that white egg is gonna taste like crap.
Perform experiment and collect data:
Analyze data:
The free-range organic egg was alright. It looked basically like our eggs do, except that the yolk was pretty runny. It broke when I flipped it. The white egg was very watery and stringy. The yolk was runny, and the white part was so thin and watery that it started to smoke and get crispy as soon as I put it in the pan. It also smelled like hell. Seriously. If our chickens were to lay something that reeked like that when it was cracked open, we would have eaten the chickens by now. Ugh. Our chickens' eggs were big and bright and fluffy, as usual. They smelled fresh and nice. I didn't eat the white egg. I scrambled it up and put it on the porch for the outside cat. He didn't eat it either.
Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis:
Conclusion: Our eggs taste awesome. New hypothesis: No one should buy those crappy white eggs. Everyone should have a chicken.

Retest (frequently done by other scientists):
Kelly cooked himself two eggs for lunch. He said they were delicious. Original results confirmed.
