She hasn't laid an egg in over a year and now this?

[robinwiththechickens]

I have a 26 month old EE hen that laid maybe a dozen eggs in her first year, then quit altogether. I just thought she was a dud, but we loved her anyway. Then today, she lays this teeny-tiny egg. Is she just messing with me? I feel like she's messing with me.

Shown here with a regular egg for comparison:


What's going on here?

Hopefully she's just firing up the old egg assembly line.

Wow. Quail egg. Haha. I hope she starts laying for you. I have 4 chickens and 2 haven't laid for me yet...3 weeks and they are adult hens. Frustrating.

Hey she's just a smart (lazy) bird. She knows that little fart egg is a whole lot easier to lay that a big ole honker!!!
