Hummm, if this is the case than would veins be developing anyway. Curious, I've never seen one without a yolk. I've heard of it. Don't know if it would start to develop though.

Looks like a boof egg to me.

Are you certain it's developing?

BTW, thanks for the pic... reading through this thread I was gonna be upset without one.

It looks the size and color of my BB red bantam eggs. The two girls that hatch on the 20th this month had heads no bigger than my thumbnail and bodies about as round as a quarter, they are twice as big now as when they hatched but ore still no bigger than a golf ball with wings.

Yes it has a pointed end and I did candle it and can see veins. I just hatched some seramas on the 21st. Those eggs were small but not this small.

Looks like my button quail eggs, mine are light green and very small. If its a quail they will only take 16 - 18 days to hatch.

We eat our quail eggs. Not much to them, but very good. My son had a dozen button quail eggs for breakfast yesterday morning.

if it is a chicken egg, and it is developing, then it will not make it full term... not enough food/room in the egg.

The only thing that would shock me is if it was a chicken egg. It would be a pretty deformed chicken egg, being so small and round. It looks more like a pidgeon egg, but you never know...

Awww they sound adorable. I hope it hatches whatever it is. Maybe the grandfather will send the mystery man back around to see if it hatches and I can question him. My SO never asks enough questions about stuff and he was the one who talked to the man that night. Now me I will ask you to many questions.

I will be moving the mystery egg to its own bator on 4/2. I guess I will candle again than. I don't want to handle it to much to give it better chances.

Hmm, maybe he does have pigeons in his barn where his hens are. This one rolled out of the nest and now he thinks it's a chicken egg!
