My Japanese bantam chick (to me) lays impossible tiny eggs....so can ya beat that? Pic included!

I believe Betsy is a Japanese bantam? that whole mixed bag thing from Ideal poultry, lol. She is my super friendly girl with lots of pluck...but not a very big egg. I heard this is about right for their breed? Anyhow, they are tiny, about the size of a penny or marble, and have NO yolk. Zippo. She would be a culled girl for sure in some hen establishments, but here, she is just my buddy.

So of course I want to see pics of YOUR small eggs below my post! I am also going to put it up on my FB page "The Fit Green Chicken" if you prefer to post it there, too. My page is dedicated to my hobbies: chickens, solar oven cooking, green living, and fitness. Hope to see ya there!

Yeah, well, my hens lay eggs so small they are invisible. No yolk or white!

Those are pretty cute

DUDE! You may have a niche in the market for fresh egg white eggs! So many people are wanting to have egg whites only! Now, if only you had a whole group of them to get rich on. LOL.

Those are sooo cute. I have a Japanese Bantam chick she is 13 weeks old(also have 3 JB roos luck of the draw I guess). I was wondering how old your JB was when she started to lay? I figure they mature later than standard chickens. If she is new to laying the eggs may get a little bigger.
