Ostrich Eggs

Fresh ostrich eggs are remarkable and distinctive due to their large size and unique appearance. One ostrich egg is equivalent to about 24 chicken eggs in volume, making it the largest egg produced by any bird. With a thick and hard shell, these eggs are incredibly durable. They are often sought after for their novelty and used for culinary purposes, as their rich and creamy yolk is often likened to that of a chicken egg but with a milder flavor. Ostrich eggs are also sometimes used for decorative and artistic purposes due to their size and intriguing shell patterns. Given their rarity and size, fresh ostrich eggs are a unique addition to both gastronomy and craftsmanship.

The female common ostrich lays her fertilized eggs in a single communal nest, a simple pit, 30 to 60 cm (1224 in) deep and 3 m (9.8 ft) wide, scraped in the ground by the male. The dominant female lays her eggs first, and when it is time to cover them for incubation she discards extra eggs from the weaker females, leaving about 20 in most cases. A female common ostrich can distinguish her own eggs from the others in a communal nest. Ostrich eggs are the largest of all eggs, though they are actually the smallest eggs relative to the size of the adult bird â?? on average they are 15 cm (5.9 in) long, 13 cm (5.1 in) wide, and weigh 1.4 kilograms (3.1 lb), over 20 times the weight of a chicken's egg and only 1 to 4% the size of the female. They are glossy cream-colored, with thick shells marked by small pits. The eggs are incubated by the females by day and by the males by night. This uses the coloration of the two sexes to escape detection of the nest, as the drab female blends in with the sand, while the black male is nearly undetectable in the night. The incubation period is 35 to 45 days, which is rather short compared to other ratites. This is believed to be the case due to the high rate of predation. Typically, the male defends the hatchlings and teaches them to feed, although males and females cooperate in rearing chicks. Fewer than 10% of nests survive the 9 week period of laying and incubation, and of the surviving chicks, only 15% of those survive to 1 year of age. A possible origin for the myth that ostriches bury their heads in sand to avoid danger lies with the fact that ostriches keep their eggs in holes in the sand instead of nests, and must rotate them using their beaks during incubation; digging the hole, placing the eggs, and rotating them might each be mistaken for an attempt to bury their heads in the sand.
