Tiny Egg

We found this on the ground where several of our chickens hang out. I thought it was a rock but my husband was convinced it was an egg and he was right. I believe this is what they call a "fart egg" though I hate that name.

so cute! I've found a couple of those in my nest boxes this year too! They crack me up

I was laughing so hard when I realized it was an egg.

An old farmer told me they called them "luck eggs". So much nicer, don't you think? I keep all mine, in a birds nest I found. I think they are adorable!

I prefer 'new egg' as it is a first as either a hen is beginning again or a young hen beginning. They are cute! I've never opened any though, must have all the same inside. I read where they would not hatch. Anyway what a fun find.

I like that: "luck eggs". That is now my new name for them.

I think tomorrow I will open it up and post a pic. I think they are just all whites and no yolk.

When we had one of those we opened it up and there was the tiniest yolk. So cute. I have also heard them called "fairy eggs ".

Fairy eggs! I love it! I always hated the term "fart eggs"...Ew. A yucky name for something so cute.
