A little, itty, bitty egg! *PICS*

I found this among my bantam eggs yesterday. Its a perfect, tiny egg!

The below picture is a regular, large chicken egg next to a regular bantam egg, next to the littlest egg I've ever seen!




This is the little banty egg next to a quarter....




Do you think I could incubate this egg? If it is fertile and hatches I imagine the chick would be very tiny too. What do you think my chances are of trying this?

Oh, very cute! My grandma calls tiny chicken eggs 'wind eggs', while I learned that sometimes they are called 'rooster eggs.' I don't know why some call them rooster eggs.... since they don't come from roosters! They are just little blips in a hen's reproductive system.

Instead of trying to hatch it, why don't you blow the contents out, and keep the shell? I have my doubts that such a tiny egg would be fertile, and even if an embryo started growing, I don't think it would survive to the hatch date, so I don't recommend trying to incubate it....

Slim to none. Hatching eggs should be not to small & not real big.

OK, I'll guess I won't try to hatch it. I was hoping I had a chromosome abnormally and I'd be able to produce miniatures

Lol, they have them already. They are called seremas. Or as my touch pad changes it to... Screams.

Gotta love automatic spell checking!
