Tiny Egg

[BlueJuniper]

Today I was walking through the coop, and I found the smallest egg I have ever seen on the floor of the coop. We have two easter egger bantams and I know that bantams lay small eggs but are they always really THAT small? And another question is can I eat it?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated and I thank you all in advance.

Might be a fairy egg, meaning an egg with no yolk. It happens sometimes, especially with younger layers or high production breeds. You can eat it.

I agree it's probably just a hen starting to lay, small eggs and eggs with no shell are common in young birds beginning to lay.
