Ok I have a problem. I am getting an egg every few days that is TINY... I don't know if it is my OEGB or one of my serama hens laying the eggs. my silkies, bantams, and seramas are in the same pen and all laying in the same nest and i can tell which is silkie eggs since they are bigger and i know one of my OEGB lays light brown eggs but these are tiny white eggs. UGH!!! confused...lol.

My serama eggs are allways the smallest and I think they are more rounded on the narrow end as opposed to pionted like other eggs. I am posting some pics of eggs I just go from some of my birds and what a shock at what I found. Look for my thread! I am calling it "is this what a chicken fart looks like?"

I wonder if that is a breed characteristic, my seramas and poultryhaven's Serama eggs have rounded narrow ends too!! It can be hard to figure out which is which lol!!
 
My serama eggs are more pointed than the rest and most are brown tinted. I actually had trouble telling if one of my eggs was a large serama or small guinea egg.

An oegb and serama can lay the exact same egg so that really doesn't help. It could be a serama or an oegb laying the occasional small egg. I've gotten a couple eggs from my standards that are as small as my serama eggs. It happens an with an already small egg laying breed it could happen often particularly when they first start laying.
 
I am getting one of these every 2-3 days. i have gotten like 6 so far and the only ones that would be new layers would be my seramas. the middle egg is an egg from my OEGB. i don't know...lol
