Chick laid a tiny egg?

Some human is yanking your chain...
...hopefully they fess up soon to end the ridiculous speculation.

No one planted it

No one planted it

It's way, way, way more plausible than a 3-4 week old chick laying an egg.

If your chick really did lay an egg at that age, you probably set the record.

That would make more sense than the chick laying it but there isnt a way for a wild bird to get into the brooder

Yeah.

Sure, but my coop was locked up. No one aside from myself was able to get in and I definitely didnt plant it

That gap isnt big enough for my hens to get through, and even if it was I doubt a hen would find a way to fly in there, lay a teeny tiny egg, and then leave.

Which means both are impossible.

But a wild bird could get thru there.

Sure, if a wild bird was in my coop. But there wasn't. And why would a wild bird choose to lay on the floor of my brooder?

It could have been dropped by a rat that stole it from a wild bird nest too.
