I have a little bantie. She is black with feathered feet. She is very very very small. I bought her from my local feed store last spring. She was .99 cents, and just labeled "bantams". I'm not sure what kind she is. She is such a sweety!
So I went out to collect eggs today, and over in the corner of the pen I saw this little egg. I don't know why she didnt go to the laying box, but there it was on the ground. It's smaller than a cherry tomato. Very small. I was shocked at its size. It is so cute.
I am very happy.
Its funny to think a chick can come out of an egg that size!

awwww! my banty just laid. it was huge for her size! i was surprised she didnt burst!! she hasnt laid for a few days. do you know if that is normal??

CONGRATS!!!!!!!
 
Thank you!
It should be normal.
My gray japanese bantie layed early in the fall.. she stopped and hasnt layed since.. I think she's just slowing down because of the cold weather. She just started though. I might have to buy the poor girl a saddle though, my RIR roosters find her the most attractive out of all my hens...
But it should be normal though! && congrats to you also!
