Has anyone seen an egg this small from one of their chooks?
« on: July 31, 2013, 20:41 »
Just wondering if anyone has had an egg as small as this one? We keep Pekin Bantams and this is today's offering, 2 normal size bantam eggs, and one very tiny one. Shown here with the other two eggs laid today and a 2p coin for size. Now I wonder if this could hatch  ;)

It could be a wind egg.  I have only ever had one off all my girls.

Ditto, I told my grandaughter it was a fairy egg, she very carefully took it home.
