For example, a stink bug!! Those things really bring on a stench!
Any embryo that could start developing in such a tiny egg would likely stop and die somewhere along the way due to lack of space, missing yolk (often there's no yolk or a tiny one), etc.A question to all:
Has anyone ever had success with hatching such a small egg? Does anyone know someone or heard of someone that did?
That would be one small chick...
Who would even try??A question to all:

Always seems to be some curiosity about trying to hatch tiny chicks from small eggs, twins from double yolkers, etc. Mother Nature obviously disagrees, which is why any oddball eggs are generally not viable for hatching.
Or they hatch with problems. Not a good idea to me.
Yeah... I'm not a fan of trying to defy Mother Nature. That's a losing proposition. And often downright immoral, imo.
Fairy, fart, wind, rooster eggs are usually from a tiny piece of tissue breaking loose from the reproductive tract, or an immature ova(yolk) and the body forms an egg around it. Color can be darker than 'normal' as the pigment coating released has to cover a much smaller area so is thicker. Can happen with any age layer, but more common with older layers.Has anyone ever opened one?
Was there a tiny yolk?
once did that by mistake thought my bantam laid it but I don't think she did so ended putting it under a broody and after a week of the chicks hatching decided to crack it open and saw it started to develop but died most likely due to lack of space or yolk but now I try to keep bantams separate so I know what egg hatchA question to all:
