My smallest egg - incredible! (pics)

[Chickybaby]

! I'm more used to eggs of the JUMBO variety, but this is what I found in the coop first thing this morning... a quarter-sized egg!

I have never seen anything like it, like I said most of my girls lay pretty good sized ones. This is another giant egg I got this afternoon next to the tiny one for comparison sake

And here's the tiny one next to a "normal" sized egg, also from today

I believe the tiny one is from one of my Bantam Dark Conish, I've been waiting for them to start for a month or so now. Perhaps they have been laying and I just haven't SEEN them

- guess it's possible.

Has anyone else ever had this tiny an egg before, or do I just have the world's strangest birds?

My monster egg layers are my Brahmas. The don't do it often, but when they do they do it BIG!

I've had a few giant eggs like those but none as small as yours is! I have had some eggs without shells and that has stopped since they have more oyster shell!

I got one that small about a week ago......I cooked it up and it had NO YOLK!

Very strange, especially on the same day i got a double yolker from another girl in the flock.

I got a dime sized one a few weeks ago. They are so adorable! My dad got a good laugh out of it. He had never seen on that small. He raised leghorns and he said they never laid any small ones at all.

Congrats on your first fart egg

Mine had a very teeny tiny yolk inside!
