Tiniest button quail egg!!!!!!

[jkcove08]

I know chickens have pullet eggs that are smaller then the normal eggs when they first start laying. I have noticed a few pullet eggs with my buttons too..... Today I think I found the tiniest pullet button egg ever!! In the pic is a normal button egg, the pullet egg and a cornel of corn from my scratch grains. That was the easiest egg ever layed..

Is that almost actual size?

THe egg to the right is normal sized, the pullet egg is about 1/3 normal size. I still cant believe how tiny it is. Jenn

How would you incubate something that small? are you incubating it? are you hatching it is the better question. you could make a bantam quail! as if they weren't small enough already.

My sister wants me to put it in the bator but I am not sure yet what I am going to do. They really dont like being alone and the last thing I want to so is put a bunch more in the bator. I probably will just to see though...lol It would be pretty neat to have a tiny button. I will let you know what happens. Jenn
