Liz Steed Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Today I've had a 24g egg, I think off Nugget , instead of the lovely 75g ones she's been laying for 18months It's half the size of the first egg she laid ever, it's about the size of a quail's egg I suppose Now why is that?? I'll crack it open when the kids get back from school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 There nevre seems to be a reason for them - just a blip in their egg production, which is more common in younger hens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 could it be one of those "wind eggs" that someone posted about recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Steed Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Read the wind egg thread, it does look like that, it is tiny. Will know more when I crack it open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Perhaps you could paint them and pass them off as chocolate mini eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
