Martin B Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I've just been out to collect the eggs at first I thought I only had a Lesley egg but then I looked down whilst adding the straw and there was a very tiny, looking at a rough 30g, like a bantam egg. But it was a perfect circle. I wonder why she layed on the roosting bars at the back of the eglu and why on earth is it that small and that shape?

The Dogmother Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 That's odd Martin. I wouldn't worry too much about it though. It's better then no eggs, which is what I've got at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 I suppose so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine C Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Perhaps she's laying for the BBC - Isn't the circle their new theme now? Have to say though that my girls seem to be laying odder eggs at the moment. The gingernuts have always been a bit rounder than the Pepperpots but recently have had some, although not circular it has been difficult to distinguish which was the pointy end! Dilema then - which way up do I store it Has to be said though they're not in the egg box that long! The pepperpots on the otherhand seem to have got longer and pointier (appologies - don't think this is in the dictionary!) However, all just as tasty E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Only one of my three girls lays a correctly shaped egg. Bossy, my pepperpot and boss chicken, lays long pale eggs, sometimes a bit too long , and Cheeky, my undersized gingernut, lays a virtually round egg every time. I also have trouble distinguishing which way is up! So Snooty must be my politically correct EU approved perfect chicken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Back to normal today. I had a perfect egg and a good size from the same chook! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Sounds like the chicken equivalent of a crop circle, spooky Mine went through a pointy egg phase around bonfire night, and Susannah keeps laying small (well the smallest but still "large") eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) I spotted something in the grass of the run at the weekend and went to look. It was a perfectly formed but very tiny egg - weighs 14g Here it is next to a 62g egg. Edited November 22, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
