Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 As some of you will be aware, Maisie laid the smallest egg ever last week. My dilemma now is what do I do with it ? It's a bit small to crack open (although I do wonder what's inside!) and too small to blow (I think!). Will it go off if I just keep it ?

mostin Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I would try to blow it, you've got nothing to loose as it will just smell won't it if you keep it otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You need to get one of those clear resin paperweight casting kits and mount it in resin! Would make a lovely paperweight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Oh my word. Is that really an egg? I think I'd have to try to crack it open. Or write to the Guinness book of records! See if you can get the world record for the smallest fried egg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 It is indeed an egg . I have actually taken the plunge and blown it . A tiny bit of shell came away when I put the needle away but it blew really easily - some ordinary looking white came out. I was wondering about the Guinness Book of Records too . I can't find any smaller eggs mentioned on the internet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 It might be a fart egg. My little Nugget often lays small eggs which are fart eggs (no yolk). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 It was spotted in the poo tray by one of my Hen Party attendees and I was quite proud of myself that I could tell them what it was - ie a "fart egg" . I'm hoping they were impressed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Only if you're posh . (Just joking, I think they can be called either!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 So its a fart egg, or a cockrels egg. Whats the definition then, a teeny egg thats just got white in it. Or any sized egg with just white in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackgold Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I would have to keep it. We are keeping the shell from our first egg.Havent decided what to do with it yet though. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
