Really, REALLY early egg laying?

[TheWineSquirrel]

We have 5 lavender guinea's (currently 7 weeks old, not sure of sex yet), 5 Rhode Island Red pullets, 5 Plymouth Barred pullets, 1 white leghorn pullet and 1 white leghorn Roo (All 6 weeks old). I found a normal sized, brown hollow egg in the coop today and am completely baffled. I have researched it and all I find is it is normal for wind/fart/dwarf eggs early on in layer development, but we are literally not even 8 weeks in here! (photo on right is a mature guinea hen egg on the left and the our rogue fart egg on the right)

I have NO IDEA what's going on there.

......But I think we can safely rule out the rooster!

Good luck figuring out 'whodunit.'

That certainly is very early.

Someone's yanking your chain........there's no way an 6 week old would lay an egg

That's really interesting i shall be keeping an eye on this thread

Fart eggs are also small. That's a regular sized egg. There is no way a 6 week old anything laid something that large.

Any chance you have a significant other messing with you? Lol. I can't imagine a 7 week old chicken laying an egg! Even once they reach laying age they would be laying smaller than normal eggs. This is.. not possible.

Someone is playing a trick on you! Find out who it is and get them back! LOL! Maybe collect a basket full of colored Easter Eggs and tell them you collected them from the coop .

Or....maybe you're pulling our legs???

I agree, someone's pulling your chain, my hybrids didn't lay until 6 1/2 months.
