Who laid this tiny egg?

Our little D’uccle bantam. She’s doing her best impression of a raisin bun in hopes he’ll show off somewhere else.

He tried to mount her once but I don’t think his butt could reach while holding her head so he gave up and I haven’t seen him try since.
She’s the only really tiny girl so it’s not really worth the time figuring out how to make it work.

Sounds like my standard silkie with my serama!

That is hilarious.

I call those fairy eggs. Typically they do not have a yolk. They're just a little kink in the system where, for whatever reason, a yolk isn't ready and the rest of the egg factory is...

Fairy eggs is better then fart eggs.

Yes! This is most common with starter layers, though is pretty rare. (I have never got one.) A tiny bit of reproductive tissue is often mistaken and turned into an egg. Theres about a 30% chance or so of a yolk.

I had an egg about that size, blue, Monday from an 18 wk Easter Egger. None since. I read that young hens lay smaller eggs that eventually get larger.

Our EE’s new eggs with a store bought brown egg for comparison-

Thank goodness! What a nightmare that would’ve been.

Our girl just laid her first (normal) egg this morning! She she doesn’t care for the boys but they certainly like her.
If you want to come up to Alberta Canada you’re welcome to her half Faverolles eggs!
I’m mostly kidding but I am honestly curious what her chicks would look like.
I mean just look at this handsome EE rooster!

Is that your coop?

Is that your coop?

Yep. Resale windows are cheaper than plywood these days
The whole thing is still a work in progress though.
I would highly recommend big windows so far, the birds get to sunbathe inside if they want to, I think we get more eggs because of the light but the girls are also young so not super sure there, the best part is that they see us walking by all the time and get super excited if we have treats!
