Comment Ornithologists make the difference. Thank you kindly look at the size, texture of the shell, the form and color, all these parameters are different from a chicken egg. Just click here clutch single, taken for scientific purposes, and deposited in a public collection. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:04, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Question Can you elaborate? Your post... I don't know how to describe words without going strongly negative about it. --George Ho (talk) 08:43, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm sorry I did not write well in English. I tried to argue my point. I'm always afraid that Mr Google translate poorly or upside down my thoughts. I am only short sentences which can seem brutal. I hope I did not tell stupidity. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 10:02, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment No, no, you did your best. You did tell me that chicken egg and the Martin egg are different. Nevertheless, why not re-phrase then? --George Ho (talk) 20:18, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support I don't understand the controversy. Here we have a "Common house martin" eggs picture, not chicken eggs at all (see the size and form, for instance, chicken eggs are bigger, even for a non specialist). The quality of the picture is not perfect (sharpness), but I think it is the best we have in "Commons" for this scope, and I support.--Jebulon (talk) 16:57, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Earlier, I said that they look like "chicken eggs", but that was a miscommunication. To elaborate, I must say: this picture, regardless of real size of Martin eggs and indicator legend ("1 cm"), would make them look like chicken eggs. Ah, well, doesn't matter. --George Ho (talk) 01:04, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment As a non-ornithologist, I also find that they look to me like chicken eggs, only distinguished by size, which is only given by the legend. I am sure, however, that there are probably other distinctions that are not apparent to my untrained eye. cmadler (talk) 12:24, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The form is not the same as that of a chicken egg. There are more pointed (the ratio between the height and width differs). The color is a very bright white, the chicken egg were never this color (except dietary deficiency). The texture is very smooth for an egg, if you enlarge a chicken egg at the same size there will be easy to see asperity. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:08, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
