You would think wouldn't you that being so small it probably doesn't have a yolk, but the tiny egg one of our meat chickens laid last week, was tiny, and it was a double yolker!!! Should have taken a pic, but was just doing scrambled egg for brekkie!!!!

I've heard Aunty refer to them as a wind egg (wind as in blowing as opposed to a wind up egg!)

I believe a witches egg is a fungus which looks like an egg. I'll see if I can find some info

However, VERY useful article thank you. I would just like to let you know that it probably was a 'fart egg' cos egg production has returned to normal now. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :shock:

Witches egg?

I was told that you had to break the shell of your boiled egg after eating it otherwise witches would pinch it and use it as boat! :?

Found a couple of links:

WARNING : only open the second link if you can keep a straight face and promise not to make any... dubious comments

OK Aunty, who do you think you are talking to ? Do you really think that this is the company that will be able to keep "dubious" comments to ourselves, especially with such provocation.
Best dust off the naughty step in preparation :oops:

Aunt Sally · « **Reply #27 on:** July 17, 2008, 22:07 »

The naughty stairs are ready. Just all go and sit yourself on there

I really cannot help myself.

Thomas Hardy would approve of those.
