I shall give this a try - I hope that (FRESH) eggs are *not* a requirement as I
don't have any of those. Both this method and Steve Haffly's steaming make
sense. However, not everything that makes sense works for me all the time.

But, those are the first two ideas I shall try. Especially the baking soda - I
have not done that before and YK Jim mentioned it, too.

  * Last year the Iowa Lottery called us again for some of our
  barnyard "talent". Our white Orpington hen named Mattie was
  chosen as the Iowa Lottery's spokeschicken for their Cheaper
  by the Dozen Promotion. They came to the farm to take some
  digital pictures (CGI) of her beak in order to be able to
  manipulate it on the computer so she could appear as if she
  was speaking. The next day she had to go to the studio so we
  could get the rest of the shots (her sitting on a nest of
  golden eggs with microphones in front of her as if she were
  a celebrity at a press interview.) the whole thing was
  hilarious to watch as they filmed it.
  
  Well that was last year and I thought Mattie's fame and
  fortune days were over. I was watching tv during lunch and
  happened to see Mattie's commercial was being run again this
  year. "Crazy", I thought jokingly saying to myself that she
  should surely be due some residuals. HA. Well the studio
  that did the spot called the next day to say that Mattie
  would have another check in the mail as they would run the
  spot all of April due to popularity. It makes me laugh so
  hard to think that this chicken's commercial was so popular
  that the lottery brought it back. Mattie is worth her weight
  in gold, not only as a tv star, but also as a pet. She is
  the tamest calmest bird I have ever seen. I told her she
  could retire now, but she still lays an egg daily.
