uh...Can you eat bantum eggs?

[needmorechickens!]

My mom wants some chickens. I was thinking bantums would be easier on her. Also, she saw some Silkies at the fair that she loved! I was thinking of ordering her the bantum assortment from My Pet Chicken. Can you eat eggs from bantums?

I have 3 7 week old bantams. From what everyone tells me here, they are perfectly fine to eat, some say that two banty eggs are the equivalent of one standard. I love my bantys so far but no eggs yet so I can't say for sure.

Yes!

Yes you can eat them. I have ate my silkies eggs alot. They are just smaller,

I've read that bantam eggs make an especially rich omelette because they have more yolk and less white. You'd probably need a lot but it sure does sound yummy!

Since they are smaller you can just consider them diet eggs!!

We love to take the banty eggs....hard boil them..and put them in with the pickled beets! YUM!!
My grandson loves them because they are " kid size"

Maybe I can use that as an excuse to get more chicks! I can always use more "kid size" stuff around here! I wonder if DH would believe it?

Come next spring I am going to try that!​
