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!
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!
Am sure it was made just for you - the size of a pea - dear Mama Pea!!
ReplyDelete2 Tramps - Ha! I didn't even think of that until you did . . . pea size!
DeleteWe have had a couple like that over the years, then back to normal, something just doesn't form right.
ReplyDeleteSunnybrook 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!
Deleteyup pea aixe, someone sure is not pulling their weight, if ya say 'Sunday Dinner's coming up' maybe she will get with the program.
ReplyDeleteTombstone Livestock - Can't even blame it on a young, immature hen. Our youngest are a year old this month!
Deleteoops pea size, can't type.
ReplyDeleteThat is just about the cutest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteI'll Call You Jane - Yep, a perfect miniature egg. ('Cept no yolk!)
Deletehaha that's the exact same egg I found today in my coop!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Uh-oh. Must be something going around!
DeleteWe call those "hiccup" eggs!
ReplyDeleteSusan - Yes, I've heard that before, too.
DeleteNow that is one small egg. Is it normal inside, like does it have a yolk?
ReplyDeleteOops didn't read all your replies before I posted.

DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteMichelle - Over the years, we've gotten small, not quite normal eggs but never one this perfectly shaped and SO small.
DeleteI'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 :)
ReplyDeleteCarolyn - I think your hens are all severely traumatized by that huge snake that was invading their house and home!
DeleteOh my gosh, that made me nearly spit out my coffee!! :)
ReplyDeleteStephanie - Always something new and/or different to surprise us, huh?
DeleteWe had that happen too, but only one time. Strange.
ReplyDeleteKristina - You wouldn't think their egg-making "apparatus" could manufacture an egg so far from normal, would you?
DeletePerhaps time for a little pep talk...
ReplyDeleteLindaCO - Can't you just see me hunkered down in the chicken house chanting, "Bigger, bigger, BIG-ger!
DeleteWow... so interesting! Will these little egg be a dwarft chicken? Maybe it will be so cute...
ReplyDeleteEndah - Can you imagine if that egg had been viable . . . the little chick to hatch out would be about the size of a grasshopper!
DeleteThat's funny. We had a ginormous one last week, but no tiny one.
ReplyDeleteLittle 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!
DeleteCUTE!!! Never seen one that tiny here before.
ReplyDeleteLisa - And it was so perfectly formed! (Outside anyway.)
DeleteLOL, isn't it fun to get an odd little egg like that?
ReplyDeleteLeigh - It's amazing it didn't get overlooked in the nest box!
