Mini Egg!

[lemoniee]

Hiya all!

I went round to check for eggs from my ladies this morning, collected some eggs then looked at the mess they'd made with their feeder and saw a teeny weeny mini egg on the floor! picked it up and its not much bigger than two jelly beans but end to end and double one of their fatness, dont know which of my hens laid it, has anyone else had an unusually small egg? im tempted to crack it open to see if theres actu a yolk in there!

It's called a Wind Egg. They happen once in awhile; nothing to worry 'bout! Cute little things, eh?

How long have they been laying? Maybe it is somebody's first egg. Their first is usually smaller than normal.

Seroiusly!?!?! They can sometimes "wind" and an egg will come out!

That is the funniest thing I've heard all day.

We call those fairy eggs. There is no yolk. You can leave them sitting out to dry. They won't rot and explode because there is no yolk.
