About Me
I live with my husband on a small homestead in Northern Minnesota. Our daughter currently lives in a small cabin in the woods not too far from us.
Our place is located outside a small town and a two and a half hour's drive from the nearest big city. Trips to the city are infrequent, well-planned, and exhausting!
We currently raise chickens and have hives of honey bees. Raising some of our meat and most of our fruits and vegetables is a priority for us; so, along with our birds for meat and eggs, we have fruit trees, berry patches and a huge vegetable garden.
Quilting is my passion, and I could happily spend each day in my quilt studio if I weren't happily spending each day out in the garden. Good thing we have winters up here; Mother Nature helps keep my life balanced.

Am sure it was made just for you - the size of a pea - dear Mama Pea!!
We have had a couple like that over the years, then back to normal, something just doesn't form right.
yup pea aixe, someone sure is not pulling their weight, if ya say 'Sunday Dinner's coming up' maybe she will get with the program.
oops pea size, can't type.
That is just about the cutest thing ever.
haha that's the exact same egg I found today in my coop!
We call those "hiccup" eggs!
2 Tramps - Ha! I didn't even think of that until you did . . . pea size!
Sunnybrook Farm - It's almost like they started to lay an egg, and then something else got their attention and they forgot what they started to do!
Tombstone Livestock - Can't even blame it on a young, immature hen. Our youngest are a year old this month!
I'll Call You Jane - Yep, a perfect miniature egg. ('Cept no yolk!)
Anonymous - Uh-oh. Must be something going around!
Susan - Yes, I've heard that before, too.
Now that is one small egg. Is it normal inside, like does it have a yolk?
Oops didn't read all your replies before I posted.
Sparkless - It sure would have been cool if it had had a yolk. I would have had to fry it up and take a picture of it next to a strip of bacon for size comparison!
I got one that small but it was hard as a rock. There was no cracking that egg to see if it had a yolk. Lucky that was a one time deal for us so far.
I'm ticked at my hens right now so they don't DARE pop out one of those! Although I do have to admit that it is darned cute :)
Oh my gosh, that made me nearly spit out my coffee!! :)
We had that happen too, but only one time. Strange.
Perhaps time for a little pep talk...
Michelle - Over the years, we've gotten small, not quite normal eggs but never one this perfectly shaped and SO small.
Carolyn - I think your hens are all severely traumatized by that huge snake that was invading their house and home!
Stephanie - Always something new and/or different to surprise us, huh?
Kristina - You wouldn't think their egg-making "apparatus" could manufacture an egg so far from normal, would you?
LindaCO - Can't you just see me hunkered down in the chicken house chanting, "Bigger, bigger, BIG-ger!
Wow... so interesting! Will these little egg be a dwarft chicken? Maybe it will be so cute...
That's funny. We had a ginormous one last week, but no tiny one.
CUTE!!! Never seen one that tiny here before.
LOL, isn't it fun to get an odd little egg like that?
Endah - Can you imagine if that egg had been viable . . . the little chick to hatch out would be about the size of a grasshopper!
Little Homestead - Yep, I was wishing I had one of those occasional ginormous eggs to put compare it to. My little teeny-weenie egg would have looked even smaller!
Lisa - And it was so perfectly formed! (Outside anyway.)
Leigh - It's amazing it didn't get overlooked in the nest box!
