Swiss Chick Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I need to share this with you. Two days ago my bantam babe Gwendolyn laid a soft shell egg. Well this can happen and after reading up the various subjects around soft shelled eggs I didn't worry anymore. The next moring I fed the chickens and in there run lay the itziest teeniest little egg you can possibly have. Around 1 cm long and 1 cm wide. It looked like.... well....like she just f...ed the egg. But it is full of someting (I havent't cracked it open yet). Anybody with someting similar happening. Bantam eggs only weigh about 25-30 gr. this one is only about 5 gr light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Wow, that's special Sonja. I'd be superstitious about cracking it - do please let us know what's in it when you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Chick Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Thanks Annie P for putting the picture in. Have cracked the little egg open today. It was a real egg with a tiny eggyolk and eggwhite in it. The kids were very surprised. After two days wait Gwendolyn has laid a "propper" egg today.

Swiss Chick Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 C'om Martin, I said it was tiny.....meaning really really tiny, would not even give you half a mouth full but seriously I dont' think such an egg would taste good. It smelled ok though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Chick Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 NO ! would you eat a really really tiny egg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 It's gorgeous Sonja, so wee and tiny. Is that photo against another bantam egg? If so then it's really small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Chick Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Yes it is Clare, so really only about 1 cm long and wide that's why I would not really want to eat it as Martin has suggested. But what I would loooove to know is wether anyone has had this happening to them before. So far "Ooops, word censored!"ody has told me anything.

Martin B Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 NO !would you eat a really really tiny egg? Well you could use it with another for fried eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 When I first read your post I assumed it was an egg with no yolk - but to have an egg that small with a mini yolk as well - that is a first as far as I'm concerned. I've never seen anything like that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
