tiny egg

I bought some 15 month old ISA browns off a lady just over a week ago ( she had many other chickens and Cockerells) they have been laying lovely eggs most days, but today I found the weirdest looking egg in their nesting box. It's almost like rubber, it's not a hard shell, very soft and...

Hi all ! Total newbie here ! Ordered 3 button quail eggs online . One hatched on day 16 - I had to help because it hatched in the wrong egg and its head was between its feet and they were tied together with membrane and it basically was going to die . Now it’s day 20 and it’s running around like...

Just gathered a very tiny egg from the quail cage! Anyone else have any experience with this? Ive never seen one like this before and am very curious. What should I do with it? Im wondering if it is possible to hatch something like this??? Probably not, but love the idea of a very tiny quail...

There was a teeny tiny egg in the coop this morning! All our birds are young and we only have one bird, an Ameraucana, who’s been laying for about a week. Her first egg was 33 grams and her third/most recent is 41g. The tiny egg is 9 grams!!! It’s smaller than a quail egg! This egg is brown...

I have one maybe two 1 year old hens who still lay tiny “pullet” eggs it’s not a big deal but anyone have any idea why Photos: The white hen I know lays these eggs the other two are suspects

The other day I was collecting eggs and came across this little guy. I don’t have any bantams or young hens, but I found this guy. I’m not too worried about it, but I just thought it was funny so I wanted to share. egg

My silkie laid this freaky lil thing can anybody tell me what it is please, does she need to see a vet? The dimples are where I poked it when I first went to pick it up. Is it a fart egg combined with a soft shelled egg?

Hi, so one of my newer pullets I’ve had for a few weeks now along with another hen, seems to have just laid her first egg I’m assuming. It’s very VERY small haha! It’s smaller than a pigeon egg. At first, I almost thought it was a young cockerel soon to be rooster because her hackle feathers...

We have 6 laying hens, one of which is a bantam. we have another hen who we were told had already stopped laying by the time we got her. recently i’ve been seeing the old hen sitting in the nesting boxes, and we have been finding these extra tiny brown eggs! could she be laying some glitch...

I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I found this tiny thing in with my hen's daily eggs! I've got no idea who laid it, but it's definitely amusing to look at. We've had soft shelled eggs with tubes coming off the top, soft shelled eggs, double yolkers- the works. But never an egg this...

THis morning when I collected the eggs, I discovered a tiny egg! I’m aware of fairy eggs but I think this one has a yolk since isn’t that small. I will update on that when I cram it open (probably to make a scrambled egg for my littles if it had a yolk, and feed the big girls the Shell)

More and more of my EE and BL pullets are coming into production. They are about 20 weeks old, I've sorta lost count. Every new egg is a joy, but I've been hoping I'd get at least one little "fairy egg" as things get started... and today I did! And yes, I know these have other names, like wind...

We just found this little tiny egg in our duckhouse.....Do ducks lay little eggs? We have four females and we believe all of them have been laying......But we recently had a snake in our duckhouse as well and I know they lay eggs too! Needless to say I'm a bit spooked! :) Does anyone have any...

I couldn’t get a picture bc one of my hens was trying to eat it thinking it was kitchen scraps and I got her away from it and scooped it into a sack with the straw it was in... don’t want ANYONE getting a taste for raw eggs! We don’t know who laid it and we have never had one before. It was laid...

Wanted to share this. When collecting eggs today, my mother and I found a teeny tiny little egg. A 'fart' egg. However, upon cracking it open, we were surprised to find that not only did it have a yolk, but it was a double yolk to boot! I just had to take a picture.

So my father went to gather the eggs today and found a miniature egg in the nesting box. We currently have a 5 or 6 week old chick who was accepted into the flock about 2 weeks ago. It's always been a little large for it's age, and a bit more physically mature, but now we're wondering if it's...

I have eight hens and production has gone way down in the last two weeks - FRIGID temperature! Down from 7-8 eggs daily to 3-4 a surprise today: a perfectly round egg that is about 3/4 inch in diameter!! Ideas?
