Is this normal?

Look what I found this morning .....

The chicken that laid it does tend to lay slightly smaller eggs than the others but NOT THIS SMALL!!!!!!! :shock: :shock:

Could we eat it? It looks really weird & v. dark but is perfectly formed.

With those bits of straw it looks like a mouse eating cheese.

It does happen Fifi, maybe one of the smaller eggs on the line broke away and got delivered instead of the normal one?

sorry I am just a newbie.
I would one put it in a glass of water to see if it is off and if it isnt I would crack that baby open in a separate bowl to any others and see. If it smells ok eat it.

I you are ill please refer to sentence one.

Chickens they never cease to amaze me.

Actually I'm expecting 120 people here for a party on Saturday so I might wait and entertain them with it first. (I know how to give people a good time!

)

Will let you know what we find on Sunday.
