The Cawston Ostrich Farm - South Pasadena, California
The Cawston Ostrich Farm - South Pasadena, Los Angeles, California, USA. A rather dapper worker at the farm loads his wheelbarrow full of ostrich eggs. The average weight of the eggs is 3 to 3 1/2 pounds. They take 42 days to hatch. One ostrich egg is the equivalent to 18 - 24 chicken eggs (and taste similar). To boil takes 2 hours and the shell needs to be broken with a small hammer
