It is amazing what you find in old boats! LOL

[MTboatguy]

So I buy this old boat the other day, so I can get the trailer, going to tear the fittings off of it and take it to the dump, I am pulling seats out of it last night and run into something I have never seen before! Remove the farthest rear seat bottom and spy what looks like an egg! Pull the back off the transom wall and there is a whole pile of egss, my wife says they are chicken eggs, but they look small to me, but there were 28 total eggs in the compartment behind the seat!

I can't even fathom how a chicken or any other bird got in there and laid eggs! I took a couple of pics, the second one is blurry but you can still see what they are! I guess you never know what you are going to find.

Last summer another guy I know, pulled the front seats in a boat he bought and found two guns under the seat, two nice pistols!

We don't have any snakes around here that would lay eggs this size, they are about 1.5 inches long and 1 inch across, I thought they might have been a duck, but the more I look, I think my wife is right. Iknow if you break one, they sure stink, I can't imagine how many years these have been in there cooking in the summer heat!

You might be right, I could have an expensive relic here that was owned by the Flintstones!

Counting your chickens before the eggs are hatched! LOL

That's an awful lot of eggs for a chicken unless a flock of hens called the boat home. And chicken eggs come like this;

Also meat comes in foam trays with saran wrap around it!

Maybe they needed egg crates for a school art project and stopped at the store on the way back from the lake then went straight to the school. Or they used to take the boat on their egg throwing vandalism runs and got caught on their last run, the local PD got the boat on impound.

Friend of mine brought a 26 or so Tiaria home from Florida and in the engine bay was a spider that filled the bottom of a large coolwhip container.Scared the beejesus out of him,lol.

birds can get in some amazingly small places to lay eggs.
I have a drafting table that I use as a shooting rest. last summer in the drawer of it we found a nest of young birds. in a short while they had all left the nest and flown away.

largest gap in the drawer was maybe a 1/4 inch at the top in the rear. bird had filled the entire drawer with leaves sticks etc for insulation, made a nest and had chicks.

we watched her fly out of it once. no idea how she found it or how she got the chicks out but they all made it.

Maybe something packed them in for later use. I've found stores of things put in by a pack rat. Squirrels are also good at hiding things away.

What about pheasant eggs? They should be about that size.

Sit on them and see what hatches ,lol.

Well I was workin on getting the steering system out of the junk boat today and I broke two of those eggs, the fly's think they have a victory, but talk about a god awful smell, those suckers have been in there cooking and getting rotten for a long time!

Guess you didn't take the advice to play Mother Hen and sit on them to what hatched. :wink:
