L Marques Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hi it's been a while my chicken have started laying eggs again,I do not know which one though,I've got three,they are little bantams,I could not believe my eyes this morning when I saw the tiny egg,it's the size of a 50p coin. And next to it a normal size egg for a bantam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 One of my bantams made me an egg the size of a little chocolate easter egg... miniscule... It was also probably the last egg she has since given me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I think these are called wind eggs. They only usually contain egg white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yeah, usually called a wind egg and nothing to worry about. As luvachicken says they only contain egg white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Wind eggs... witches' eggs... cock eggs... various names Caused when some grit or a foreign body gets in the oviduct and an egg si formed around it. They usually have a bit of grit or similar in them, the shell and membrane are both very tough, and the white is almost gelatinous. My Rosie used to call them Malteser Eggs.
