I'm willing to bet this is a "fart" egg and has no yolk. I get them all the time, just don't think they're worth measuring and bragging about. We just toss them into the omelet.

I hatched a fart egg which turned out to be one of the more infamous threads on BYC. Here is the egg on a dime which is just slightly smaller than a penny. It was more round than egg shaped and even pipped at the wrong end.

I've had a few teeny eggs like that over the years. It's certainly nothing amazing like the people in the article seem to think, imo.


Red, did the chick survive?

Agree--I've never raised anything but full-sized chickens and have gotten some eggs the size of robin's eggs--never gave them a second thought. I didn't realize I was using a possible world record in my morning scrambled eggs.

I had one about the same size as the one in the article and it had a yolk. It's not really a phenomena...

This is what hatched sitting on a quarter. She is alive and well today, and a little over a year old.

Now that should be a world record thing, if only for the sheer cuteness
