Possibly the smallest egg?

[Graham K]

Hi all,

My crazy girls are at it again, not only do they now only lay on alternate days, two one day one the next, but one of them left this little gem yesterday.

A grand total of 19 grams. Anyone top or bottom that?

LOL - I had one like that last week. Felt insulted really, as it was a Marans, and she only gets around to laying about every third day as it is - I asked her why she bothered!

Thats very sweet

I had a 14g one from my Bluebell once, its on a past thread somewhere. It looked like a liquorice torpeado. I think someone mentioned on the same thread they'd had a 5g egg before now!

Mine are "Gingernut Rangers" supposed to be egg laying machines, NOT!

My little Orpington bantam is regularly laying 27g eggs and I thought they were small! - perfectly formed though

I once had one like this - there was no yolk in, just white.

..I had an egg about an inch across, I gave it to a colleague with a smile penned on it as his hen is also laying v tiny eggs!!

My smallest egg is 28mm- a tidge over an inch- I blew it and kept it to show peeps!

..can't remember if I weighed it- must have done!!!!

I have a silver sussex banty that hardly ever lays and when she does - small egg, no yoke

[jessmorris]

that's no yolk! (boom boom!)

One of our banties from a few years ago left us a teensy one...if it weren't for being in a totally enclosed run I'd have thought it was from a blackbird.
I don't think it had a yolk.
