My buff orpington hens are gaining on 20 weeks now and are starting to lay tiny eggs. Usually I find tiny eggs in the nesting box, but this one, along with one other, are usually around the waterer (my guess is that they tries to poop and it just came out). The egg to the right is a grown hen's egg, and to the left is a typical egg the flock lays for a first egg. The middle egg is the Xtreme tiny egg. Has anyone had any eggs that compair to

Ah lol, she added a yolk. Usually such tiny eggs are wind-eggs.

The tiniest ones I've ever had were the size of peas. No photos sorry, that was years before I got a camera, much to my chagrin.

My sister wanted to incubate one, which when candled apparently had a speck of yolk in it too, but I told her if the poor thing hatches she'll have to hand-rear it and that was the end of that. She wasn't interested. ;)

Wouldn't have worked anyway lol, it would have been rolled over by another egg or stepped on and popped. Far too tiny.

Best wishes.
