Chicken Mummy Pt.3
Posted in Science and other Hands On activities
Queen Chick-o-patra has put on the breaks and is resisting her weight loss regiment we have been strictly adhering to *grin* This week she weighed in at 685 grams or 1 pound 8 ounces, giving her a total weight loss of 2 ounces this week. Eeek, this project may go on forever! LOL.

Her body is starting to feel rubbery and she was notably stinkier today to. I think we will need to rub some sweet smelling oils on her sooner than expected :) The natron that we had Queen Chick-o-patra in was only slightly clumpy today when we dumped it out so I we won't be changing it next week. I think we will leave if for 2 weeks this time and hopefully we will get a better weigh in to :)
See you in a couple of weeks! If you want to see photos and directions of how we got this project started click here to see part one.
Blessings,

You know, I was just getting optimistic that I might try this when we get back to Egypt in 3years. I figured all along this has to be stinky, so I wasn't going to touch it with a ten foot pole. Now that you have verified this....I will continue enjoying this fascinating process from afar! LOL Do you really put sweet smelling stuff on it? Like what?
Blessings,
Laurie

Look at that Queen! Looks like an interesting project...
My 3 year old said, 'is that a boat in a bathtub?'

I still love this project! I'm thinking it would go well with a Bible study, burial tombs, 3 days, oils, etc. Thank you for sharing this! =D
