Why Not a Teeny Egg Show?

[Wolf]

We should compare our Teeny Eggs!
See who's got the cutest!
I'll start:
This is an Araucana "virgin egg" I found last month -

Same egg along with one of the smaller bantam eggs -

 

[Chelly]

Wow that is TINY - how on earth did you even FIND it?

 

[justusnak]

WOW!!!!!!!

That is about the size of a robin egg! Sooo tiny. I would blow it out, and save it...how CUTE!!!

 

[Frozen Feathers]

Wow, Wolf! And I thought my Jap bantam eggs were tiny!

That little egg makes mine look huge!

 

[Motherhenandflock]

So cute!
Did ya know? You can just let them sit, someplace safe, and the "insides" will eventually dry up. I have a basket of tiny Auracana eggs from my pullets.

I do that too, Motherhen. Some of them do turn a different color, though.

Motherhen... it's sorta like saving something from when yer kids are babies - isn't it? LOL!
I've gotten to where I aspirate the insides of an egg out with a large syring, rinse it out, and then backfill it with a runny plaster of paris. I fill it till it overflows, then whipe off the excess that bubbles out the hole. Then I set it "upright" overnight.

I had one hen that layed a string of them this spring, but they all came from a Jersey, so they all look like banty eggs.

How about the weirdest egg? Shame, I broke it trying to blow it out.

 

[Motherhenandflock]

Now that is weird! Alien egg!

Your hen must have had a hard time with that egg.

Newbies note: eggs are soft and slimey when they first come out then harden in just a bit.

 

[Blisschick]

Probably not. It was only about 2 inches long.
