Teeny Weeny Egg

Posted by Krissypink on June 11, 2009 at 11:42pm
My hen, who is a 4 1/2 month old Black Sex Link, laid this cute tiny little egg! I saw it in the next box, and couldn't believe it. In the neighboring nest box was another gargantuan egg laid by my Ameracauna hen. What a day and night difference between the 2. I took pics of the tiny egg and big egg next to a normal egg so you can see the difference! Has anyone else had tiny eggs like this?

    I had a really really tiny egg from my bantam hen who already laid small eggs, but then she laid an even smaller one!

      Mine to! Although they haven't laid any eggs at all lately. Too hot. My little black sex link & RIR lay everyday despite the heat.

    People used to call those "Rooster Eggs" because they thought the roo laid them. lol

    I got one the other day from a either a 9 month old hen or a 2.5 year old hen, it blew it out because it was so funny looking. It had no yolk at all.

      I just wanted to tell everyone that the teeny weeny egg didn't have a yolk. :-( I was hoping to make the world's smallest sunny side up egg for my son. Oh well. He ate it anyway!

    Yes, we have had a few of those too! So weird, they have little yolks too... The tiny egg came from our hen who regularly lays a normal sized egg, every couple of months she lays a tiny one. Not sure why though.

    I've never seen anything like that, how funny. Like a little golf ball.
