RobinInOR Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Great article!One thing they didn't mention - the egg to test your lye strength has to be a very fresh egg. They probably pulled one right from under the chicken. It doesn't work as well with a store egg, that has lost a lot of its water.I tried doing this when I first moved here - what a mess I thought I was being all country and everything :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
