How would you cook a teeny-tiny little baby egg if you wanted to eat it? Boil? How long would you boil it for?

I'd be inclined to poach it, but for boiled eggs , I cover with water , bring to boil and turn off , put a lid on and let stand for 5 mins.

There's hardly enough egg to bother using a pot on. I might try getting the egg out and keeping it for an ornament.

The local chook auction here is in a months time, I'm putting about half ours in, if they all sell that will leave us only about 7 over the local limit.

Only 7 - I'm pretty sure I'd have been a nervous wreck being that far over the limit. And also I might just have pushed my long suffering neighbours over the edge.

She's beautiful, what is her colouring called?

EDIT: I got a teeny-tiny little egg from one of my new chickens. I wonder which one did it?

She's a lavender auracana who has always been genetically challenged but we love her anyway. She has some frightening ugly baby chick pics but has lots of character. : D

Fart eggs are very cute. I have two in the fridge I'm a bit squeamish to crack but I'm thinking fried - eventually. I can't see peeling them after boiling them leaving much to taste. Let me know how yours goes first.

How do they do quail eggs? I don't think I'll bother trying to eat it. I don't know how I could even crack it, there's not much of a "side" to crack into.

I add mine to scrambled eggs. Some of our oops eggs are too small to do anything with.

Shout the neighbours some eggs every so often to keep them on side.

So true. Thankfully here there is no limit.

I have checked on our councils website and I can't find how many we can have. I'm not going to ask then I don't have to worry about it.

We have 10 ISA's, 9 young australorps, 5 young silkies. Our neighbours have chooks too. Not sure what will happen when they grow up and we find some roos in the mix.
I've heard silkie roos are quiet. My granddaughters have told me we have to keep all of them. I want to hatch some more when it gets cooler. The ISA browns have always been very quiet except when they lay an egg.

my granddaughters named them, they are our babies. The german shepherd Bear like to keep an eye on things.

Thanks, sometimes I am so dim, I surprise myself LOL Of course you could put them in with the big girl eggs....

Beautiful silkies. I'd like silkies...
