Confused?

[Becky128]

Hi, I received a free chick with my meat birds. Via a post on here and observations. We concluded it must be a male. The chicken is an Easter Egger. However, today there was a teeny tiny blue egg in my coop! The only chicken it can be from is this one because everyone else is 18 months and older. The other thing that confuses me is I swear I saw the chicken in question mate with my buttercup yesterday! The chicken is about 17 weeks old! Any ideas? I guess see if it continues?

How old is it? Do you have any other chickens that could have laid the egg?

What breeds go into that coop?

 

[Becky128]

It's 17 weeks old. I have 2 other blue egg layers but they lay big eggs. The other two are 18 months old. Everyone else in the coop lay browns to whites. This chicken is the only young one. I'll have to see if it progressively gets bigger?

Sometimes the egg doesn't form completely before the chicken lays it. It was probably an accidental egg from one of the hens. You should keep on the lookout, though! Good luck!

Could be a wing/fart/fairy egg.

Yeah I read about those. Could be! I'll have to Crack it open. My kids are at camp until Friday so I have to wait. They love the tiny eggs!
