Uma Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 One of my older girls has started laying tiny eggs, yesterday and today. I am not sure who it is exactely but I wondered if anyone could shed any light on why she might be doing this? She will be almost 3 and they are all healthy. We do have some new girls, so wondered if she was just telling me about her displeasure! The eggs are about a quater of the size of a normal egg-think mini eggs..... but otherwise seem normal!

SMS6 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I've had a couple of these lately from our little ginger hydrid and one last year from our Sussex, - I read some where that they are wind eggs. have you cracked them open? When I did ours they were mostly all white inside with just a streak of yellow. My chicken seems to have got over the blip now and is laying fine again, I had read that they can happen at either end of egg laying cycle or when something upsets them.

Sue Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The smallest one I ever had was about twice the size of a pea. I don't know why she bothered to go into the nest box I haven't had one in years now, and looking back I think it might have been slightly faulty feeding or as you say stress. Either way it usually settles down within a week or so, or even less. Nothing to worry about I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
