Two eggs for breakfast please

I went out to check for eggs yesterday and found this in the chicken coop. It scared me half to death initially, but then I went running to get the camera and Paul.



We watched him for about 10 minutes. This is his first egg for breakfast. We only filmed for about 30 seconds at a time, so you have to watch all the clips to get the full story.







And this is his second egg.










After the egg got about 4 or 5 inches down, he suddenly contracted his muscles and lunged forward a few inches. This caused the eggshell to crack and the big bulge when away. Unfortunately, we didn't get this on tape.

Here's Paul playing with the snake about a month ago.
