Just been to collect the eggs, and i found one very very very tiny egg, never seen anything as small, dont know who it was off as my girlies eggs are all the same colour, any ideas, or is it just one of those things, they are being wormed at the moment.   Nickyx

Two of my girls lay eggs of a good size - about 66g to 70g with the odd large double yolker  My other two lay smaller eggs and they haven't really changed in size since they started laying.  They only started laying at about 30 weeks old which was towards the end of February so they are still learning. I believe that when they come of age (1year old?) they can get bigger Hope so.

These cute little marble size eggs are beleived to occur if/when a bit of foreign body gets into the tract. The little hens body automatically covers it with a shell and dutifully lays it for you. This is only supposed to happen to surround a proper yolk, but a teeny drip of left over yolk or anything in there triggers the response. It doesnt hurt the chook in any way. They call this a 'wind' egg. just accept it as a special little present  I have had a total of 3 so far, made a pinhole in each end, and BLEW them empty, so I have still got them.

Yes, I have had a couple of wind eggs when the girls first started laying.
