Is it true?

Is it true that people who eat bantam eggs become shorter?

No, just an old wives tale...

There may be some truth in it. I did a little research.
Apparently the gentleman on the left eats an ostrich egg every day for breakfast he is 8' 2"! And the lady on the right eats quail eggs regularly and is only 2'.
I eat a mix of regular size hens eggs and quail eggs and I'm a regular height of 5' 11". My target height is 6' so I think the quail eggs are holding me back. I might cut back on them to try and gain a inch. As for banty eggs I'm sure if you eat them regularly you will be some in-between!

Hmmm, I've always wanted to be 5'7" but stopped growing at 5'3"...do you suppose an ostrich egg or two per week will get me to my target height?

Well my LF sumatra lay smallish eggs, since they are still growing I was thinking I should scramble my first egg up and feed it to them shell and all..... But this new research has me thinking I shouldn't.

Maybe only try half. If you overshoot your target it could be problematic. After all if you ended up 7' it could be difficult collecting eggs as you could end up banging your head on the coop. Good height for changing lightbulbs though!!
