Is it true?

Yes, that's all they fed me when I was a kid. My Dad's name was Shorty. He ate bantam eggs.

That’s funny

I was a small baby and my mom was very short - maybe her parents couldn't afford medium or large eggs when she was growing up. Her father was less than 5 ft.tall. Since I was old enough to make breakfast I always picked large eggs - no difference.

Hey Sour somebody HAS to eat bantam eggs, it would be a sin to waste them.

I think the pickling inhibits the growth factor!

Funny. Maybe thinner

Here's the long and short of it: When I was a kid, my first flock consisted of bantams. I ate their eggs. At that time, in 6th grade, I was only 4'8". I later added a few LF to my flock, so ate a mix of banty and LF eggs. I gained a few inches, and topped out at 5'1.5" on "a tall day". No doubt that if I'd skipped the banties, I'd certainly be as tall as my sister who did not eat those eggs. She's 5'5".

It's just lucky that you didn't start off eating quail eggs LG!

Perhaps that explains why my Step-mom is only about 4'6"!

Of course, that HAS to be it!
