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 have had this happen a few times when the chickens first start laying, usually there is no yolk inside either. they are cute though

My smallest d'anvers egg was 24 grams, but it was a regular egg and not that smaller than a typical egg (about 30-32 grams). I can't imagine how small a fart egg would be from one of them. There are a lot more folks with seramas out there, I wonder if anyone's got a serama fart egg to show.

I have one right now trying to see if it will hatch. It is under my serama. It is about the size of a cadbury mini egg. I will try to take a picture when I re candle on Friday. I was checking on here on what are the chances.

I forgot about this thread. I opened a 12 gram egg today that was fertilized.

Is that a bantam egg? Even if it is, that's pretty darn small!

It sure is I won't lie about that. I would like to see a fairy egg from one of these girls. I imagine it would be the size of a pea.

My d'anvers lay eggs that are about 40 grams in size. The watermaal are 100g-150g smaller than the d'anvers and are laying eggs between 14g-17g on average. Not a big egg.
