A fart egg! I've gotten one that small before, even had a teeny yolk

I've never gotten one with a yolk. I'm jealous!

I got one just a little smaller at 12 grams. My mom kept it though so I don't have pics.

Those eggs are absolutely adorable

Those eggs aren't too uncommon...so definitely not the world's smallest lol. Cool though!

It happens fairly frequently in spring when the chickens start laying again. Less so in the summer but you'll get one every once in a while. You'll also get BIG eggs that are either double yolk OR and egg inside an egg. I don't have a picture but I had a fairy egg last week that was just yolk, very little white and no shell, just the membrame. It was pretty cute. I let the chickens eat it, they'll recycle and try again. I got this one yesterday and it does have a yolk inside, judging by candling, but I've gotten them that were all egg white. Guess which one of these eggs is the Fairy egg from yesterday.

Ok, so I was going out to put my chickens away tonight and it was just barely bright enough to see and I was collecting eggs and when I was feeling around felt something super small, hard, and round, at first I could not believe my eyes and thought I was hallucinating or something but no! When I brought it inside I weighed it and it only weighed 13 grams!! (.5 ounces)

(I promise you that there was no photoshop or picture editing involved as I used a variety of different backgrounds, lighting, and comparisons)

I get these sometime. I stick them in the fridge for conversation pieces. No one believes their chicken eggs. Cute!

If you wash and leave the egg in the fridge for a few weeks they will dry up inside and wont have a hole in them. I left a dozen eggs in the fridge at the "other" farm for well over a year and they didnt even smell too bad when broken open. They actually dehydrate themselves. Hollow with a gummy yolk and a bit of glazed white.
