Mystery Egg….

[CKfarm22]

I found a mystery egg in the run today. For certain i know my speckled sussex, gold laced wyandotte are new layers… and i know what my cream legbars eggs look like. i’m waiting for my salmon favorlle to start laying…. But i didn’t think their eggs looked like this…. So who did it

Such a tiny egg! Do you have bantams?

I don’t. 2 cream leg bars, 1 SF, 1 SS, 1 GLW

Very curious, indeed!

It's probably what is known as a fairy egg

From my experience it's totally random

So really, it could be any of your hens that lay similar colored eggs

Fairy, fart, wind, rooster eggs are usually from a tiny piece of tissue breaking loose from the reproductive tract, or an immature ova(yolk) and the body forms an egg around it. Color can be darker than 'normal' as the pigment coating released has to cover a much smaller area so is thicker. Can happen with any age layer, but more common with older layers.

Interesting… even if their “normal” eggs are whitish?
