Smallest egg?

Recommended Posts

I know we have a biggest egg leader board, but since I keep bantams there's zero chance of getting my name on there! :(

 

Anyway, I found a particularly small egg in the eglu today (possibly Gytha's first, but they were free-ranging so much yesterday, it was hard to keep track of who was laying where and when). I only have balance scales at the moment, but it's about 25g, give or take a gram or so. So, anyone had eggs smaller than that?

Are you sure the sparrows haven't been coming into the run, Egluntine? :D

 

My littlest one the other day was definitely Gytha's first - Angelica and the two pekins were shut in the eglu run all day Tuesday, and and I found three eggs when I got home, including another little tiny one :)

 

It was just like the one in Egluntine's photo - funny how they are elongated.

 

Pepper on the other hand is laying whopping 55g monsters - I think she's trying to make me regret giving her away. Won't work, though - I've found a nice home for them in North Cambs, in a big garden with pigs and ducks and other hens :)

:shock: I never though of anything like that!! :lol:

 

Just dashed off to Google Images!

 

Phew...they look nothing like.

 

We do have a Robin who visits regularly, so I googled Robins eggs too.....I had no idea they were such a beautiful colour!

That is so cute I thought our tiny first egg was small would look like a whooper next to yours. Did it have a yolk?
