what kind of chicken layed it

 

[wegotchickens]

Blow it out, spray some acrylic on it, and keep it!

That is so cute!!!!

Not exactly sure which one layed it. It is a different hue than what I have been getting plus that made 6 eggs today. I normally get 5. Thus I believe a new layer.

It is either an ISA-Brown or a RIR I believe. Those are the youngest and should just be starting to lay...

When my first hen started laying she also produced a few tiny eggs just like that! I now call them "poult eggs". Now she lays "full sized" eggs. I did some research and found out it's normal to lay poult eggs for the first few. I blew it out and the contents were normal, just a smaller yolk.

Hey I got my first mini egg today too! This is a duck egg and it's 1 1/2" long and 1 1/4" wide -- about the same as the one in the photo here. It's nearly round.

I like the idea of preserving the shell. Thanks guys.
