Smallest egg I've ever seen!!

That's so tiny! I have never seen one that small before, even from my bantam when she first began laying.

A flock of hens always select just one or two nests as their favorite.

Fake egg in each nest will help spread the love.

Over the years now and then I have gotten tiny eggs. Most of the ones I have opened were just the whites but have also had some with a tiny yolk.

This was my largest egg.

This is one of my oddest eggs.

The poor chicken that had to lay that huge egg! How many yolks were inside?

Soo guys. I feel kinda dumb because I was so convinced it was a chicken egg..
But I found another one today

Alright, it can't be a chicken egg. They couldn't have layed an egg this small twice in a row! I opened one of them..

Couldn't get a better photo, but the egg shell is much thinner than I thought but was still very though... And some small blood vessels. Well, I should have tried candelling it or something before opening it ( feel really bad now.

I'm pretty sure it's from a gecko, and I might try to hatch the other one? There's definitely something going on in there, some blood vessels and some development.

I think what caught me off guard was how similar the colours were to my actual chicken eggs, and how strong the shell was for such a small egg.. And also how I found it with the other eggs!

I'll go look tomorrow to see If I can find any others buried in the straw.

Well now that sounds like fun! Hatching an egg with no idea what animal you are going to get!!!

Can't tell if this is supposed to be sarcastic I'm actually looking it up right now and I'm pretty sure it's a tropical house gecko.. We have quite a lot of them around and the eggs are very similar to the one I have. Plus, the ambiant temperature is hot enough and there's no need for an incubator or anything! This is actually pretty exciting

Lol, sorry, it was not supposed to be sarcastic at all! I genuinely think that sounds like a fun project!
