Hmmmmmm......this egg we got today is the size of a peanut and it was in the coop right outside the nestbox. Anybody ever gotton a itty bitty egg like this? All my hens are mature and have been laying over a year. And currently they are almost all broody.

Now my guineas slept in the coop last night (only time they ever did that) Guineas are 5 months old. Think 1 of them made the egg?

Weird.............Never seen a egg that small.......I mean it was smaller than a chicken poo!

guinea eggs are smaller then chicken eggs and very pointy on one end but not as small as a peanut.
 
I got 2 this week from the same hen, these were apperently her first eggs ever. Today She laid her very first real sized egg. I blew out the other 2 and will keep them. I want to try to do the polymere egg deal with them, where you cover them with the clay and bake them. i think those eggs are so pretty !

Venting the inevitably - no shell egg on/off might be reproductive issue
