Smallest Chicken Egg I Ever Saw!!

[rebbetzin]

I was surprised to see this very tiny egg!

Remember the Huge Egg I got a couple of weeks ago?

Big difference!!

I call those "luck" eggs. I get very excited when I find one. I am still hoping for a green one. I never eat them. I let them dry out and display them in a birds nest.

Some people call them "fart" eggs. Sometimes you get a real small egg and it doesn't have a yolk.

Maybe it was laid by the hen that laid the gigantic one... just to even things out!

Looks like a bantam or English yard hen egg.

Looks like a beginner egg! That or a cheapskate hen.

That egg looks like it was laid by a Serama Hen, the world's smallest chicken breed. Couldn't believe how small these chickens were when I researched them.

Are you sure theirs a yolk in that small egg, maybe its like pay back from that double yolk egg you had .

I had one of those small eggs a couple of weeks ago. It had a yolk and was delicious.

What was interesting was that it was from my slw who started laying about 3 weeks prior. Before that she hadn't laid in about 1 1/2 yrs.!

When she initially started laying she only laid for a couple of weeks and her eggs had a sort of wave to them. But then she stopped and hadn't laid until this year. Her eggs are fine now and I hope she keeps laying.

One of my almost 2yo red sex links laid a small egg recently.
