Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Chicken Shirl]

I knew that Amelia wanted to lay her egg last night just before she went to roost in her tree. She was back and forth to her laying spot and making a awful din. It was far too late of course and she sat in her tree and continued to Bok Bok. This morning I was convinced that she must have laid and looked for her egg on the ground. This is what I found, but not until this afternoon when I was clearing leaves from under the tree. I can't believe that it didn't brea, it is only cracked where it hit the ground ........ The tiny egg, is one, that one of my hens laid before she stopped laying for the winter. How small is that? Usually she lays a softie before she goes on holiday.

Did you weigh it? It might qualify for the Small Egg Leader Board .

 

(Wish I'd seen her laying that other egg .)

I have just tried to weigh it, and it is less than a gram, as it has no weight at all does that count? Believe me it is the smallest egg in the world. It's smaller than some birds egg.
