Nearly 40 years ago I walked in to the Ukrainian Gift Shoppe in St. Paul, Minnesota, and walked out with several beautiful eggs. Thus starts a collection. Only a few are highly valuable, but they are all prized and enjoyed

2 TURKEY EGGS
The Turkey egg at the start of this had been with me several years, but it never felt like it dried right. A non fertile egg is actually porous and over time will dry out over time until the yoke is a hard ball inside and will detach itself from the shell and they rattle, like a child's toy. If it was fertile, it doesn't dry right and that one literally "popped" as I was moving it back to the case. I was not happy, especially since it was mid-winter and the chance of finding a local turkey egg was pretty helpless. Time passes and one afternoon I found a gentleman in La Salle , Co selling non fertile turkey egg. Yee-Haw! A lovely Sunday afternoon driver, we met some lovely birds of several kinds, and joy of joys actually got to pet a very large Bourbon Red Tom, named Tim. The smaller of the two came from his mate, it was still warm and the larger one had been laid earlier in the day. We came home with 4 new eggs and a friend in La Salle, Co. Thank you Mike, was a pleasure to meet you and hope to again, soon.
