The Vinegar Egg Experiment
This egg experiment is fun. I learned that you can soak it in vinegar for 6 days but if you soak it too long, it becomes a stink egg or a stink bomb. This becomes effective when you want to clear the house but just make sure you’re not in it!
It’s probably best that you soak it for 2 to 4 days or until the shell has dissolved.
Now what we all have been waiting for. Drum roll please. The vinegar dissolves the egg shell, which then leaves a thin rubbery layer that becomes the outer shell. It now bounces like a football.
I tested both a turkey and chicken egg. The turkey egg had a much larger and harder shell but I got the same results.

We moved from the city to the country in 2005. Since then, we have been building structures, raising livestock and growing some of our own foods. We are crazy about family, nutrition and want the best for our growing family.
