What kind of egg is this? Please help

[Nootbagoot]

It's an oops ,(aka fairy, wind, fart) egg from one of your hens.

So nothing worth trying to hatch, I assume?

Do the birds look like this?

Nope. They are fully black and probably the size of your palm or a large fist give or take. But the people that replied saying it is a "fairy" egg makes a lot of sense, so im gonna assume its just that. I just wanted to see if it was something worth hatching. Obviously not. Thanks for the reply though!

I wouldn't, they usually don't have a yolk.

Personally, I don't think it looks like a fairy egg. It looks similar to a wild bird egg to me. I've never seen a fairy egg that's streaked or speckled like that before. I could be wrong though!

You could try cracking it open to see of there is a yolk.

That looks like a fairy egg to me, with the bloom rubbed off in places, probably from the chickens moving it around trying to decide what it was. If those little birds are that small, there’s no way that egg could have come from one, as it’s bigger than even a robin’s egg.

That's good! I have a family of hawks who live nearby. I've not seen them around for a while now though. Have you ever had a problem with crows harassing your chickens?

Yes once but then they dissapeared. Mine arent even free ranged. I heard that a lot of birds dont like owls though. So i got a fake owl and move it every few days limits how much birds are around
