Can you call this an egg?

[enjoyin' my chickens]

I do not know which one of the hens laid this but the last ones started laying around Nov./Dec. So it is not a first egg for anyone of them. It is the first time that I have gotten one like this though. I couldn't even be sure if it was a LF or bantam that laid it.

@ kari_dawn.... No I haven't cracked it open yet but I will post on here when I do what I find inside it. Maybe it will be filled with chocolate or even creme. ha I have a chicken that lays creme eggs, maybe.

I just hope it is good. Maybe it will be all yolk and no white. The yolk is the best part.

I'd call it an egg. Happens sometimes round here too, it's usually the bigger chickens that lay them, ironically. ;lol: Pretty cute! Ours do have yolks though, oddly enough. So small though, we just usually add them to a recipe and not count them as an egg.

I had 2 just like it. I threw them in the fridge over a year ago and the other day cracked one open just to check it out. Of course it was empty but the shell was extremely thick,it seemed that the white part of the egg hardened itself to the shell. The remaining 1 now resides in the eggshell hall of fame,aka kitchen window sill. The hall consists of the very first egg( shell only) from my first batch. A turkey eggshell, a mega eggshell from 1 of my Barreds and a really dark shell from a Cinnamon Queen, a blue EE eggshell from a friends flock. Maybe I should charge admission????

I had a third one but opened it right away,it had the tiniest yolk. you could barely see it.

We had three of these eggs when the RIR girls started laying again after molt this year. No yolk in any. And no more tiny eggs. Just something that happens.

Well I have finally cracked the case of the small egg?. I have decided to call it a creme egg only because it had the white only and the white of an egg makes meringue and that is the "creme" of a lemon pie. See so I did get a "creme" egg.

I put a cap in the bowl for size measuring. The egg with shell fit perfectly into the turned up cap.
And now for the inside of the egg.

lol awesome! Did you add it to something else, or did you just toss it? I have never had an egg like that!
