Smallest egg I've ever seen!!

[Paulinefrn]

Oops.. Forgot to check byc for a couple days ) thanks for all the replies!

Hey, @Paulinefrn found any more, setting them up to incubate somewhere?

I haven't found any more, and I put that one I have left in a warm room in my house. I read that gecko eggs need temperatures of 80-90 degrees to hatch, and where I live it's hot enough!
There was definitely something going on in there, but I haven't seen much progress... I probably killed it by putting it in the fridge for a bit

I'll leave it for a couple more days just to make sure but I don't think it's gonna happen

Boy, this thread has gone way over the edge!!
Page 3 shows the mystery solved......no one bothers to read that far before responding?

Should I change the title or something??

This is a fascinating thread. The tiny egg made me laugh out loud. I'm curious how the chickens would have felt about a gecko getting into their nests and laying eggs there?

Oh that gecko would be eaten so quickly if the chickens ever found it...

Ehhh...kinda late now, but you could.
Not sure it would help, people just don't pay attention or want to share their own stories instead of staying on topic.

My bantam pullet layed an egg that small, with a soft shell.

Back in September, my hen hei-hei layed this adorable little egg. Took some photos, and when I cracked it there was even a little yolk inside! I was already pretty impressed at the size of this one... View attachment 2005315

But today, I stumbled upon the monster of all tiny eggs.. I don't know how it even is possible for a hen to lay such a small egg!
Not even sure who layed it, as they all lay in the same nesting box.

Length: 9mm
Width: 8mm

Im wondering if there's even anything inside.. The shell seems pretty thick

But there you go, that was my discovery of the day

Are you sure that isn't a lizard's egg?

It is...read page 3.

I had one like that this past summer. There was a tiny bit of white inside...
