Well this is going to be fun!

Hey! Found a small tiny cream egg in the run a few hours ago! It was warm, so I wondered if it was laid by one of my chickens as a false egg (you know, a little blip in their system). I have no incubator. Just a heat lamp. Should I try this? Yes. I surfed the web and found some great ideas. So now, a tiny little egg is sitting in a damp warm sock with a heat lamp overhead. I have no thermometer or anything. This is just total luck . What if it hatches?! Oh my...this is going to be fun. What if it doesn't...such an embarrassment. No pics yet, if I can I'll get some. Small, cream egg, 2 cm. I will definitely give you guys updates on what happens. I'm kinda both nervous and excited! After 4 days I'll check for signs of life. Then I'll wait a few more days and decide if it is going to go ahead or not. What do the eggperts think ? What should I do? Any tips? Or are you hear for the joy of seeing what happens?

I'll try to get pics and keep you all posted!

Pics!

The setup. The lamp is usually lower and closer to the egg, I just put it up for the photo

The egg, its cream, but the lighting makes it look white

Awwww so tiny!!!!

It’s tiny so I doubt it even would grow. If it works good job. But that’s likely a fairy egg they are like a type of practice egg when hens are first starting to lay, do you have any pullets coming of age yet?
(And I’m honoured to have been tagged in your post )

Awwww, best of luck!
Is it a bantam egg?
It looks small enough.

Those tiny eggs, called fairy eggs, usually have no yolk, so cannot develop--you can candle it and check to see if there is a yolk.
