Kristina - I wished I had had one of the goose eggs to add to the photo. We think there are about 7-9 eggs that one of the female geese has been sitting on. Only problem, it's still cold here and she's not very consistent about her incubating duties!
We get different sized eggs here too. Our heirloom girls are slightly smaller than the hybrids and then one old hybrid girl lays one the size of a goose egg!
My sis had a run of eggs with no shell; just the soft skin covering.
gld - Yep, we've gotten a few eggs over the years without a shell on them. Wonder if that means the hen pushed them out too fast? Or was lacking something in her diet? Hard telling! We had several big eggs this winter that I thought for sure were double yolkers, but nope, just a big egg!
I just had this issue today as I cleaned and put in cartons my chicken eggs. Everything from so big the carton will not close to a tiny one that rattles around in carton.
Cool photo! Enjoy your eggs :)
ReplyDeleteRain - We will. And do! Don't know what we would do without our ample supply of organic eggs.
Deletewe get one of those tiny ones occasionally :-)
ReplyDeleteDawn - When they do happen, I always think the hens weren't concentrating on what they were doing!
DeleteOh, how cute. Looks like a quail egg!!
ReplyDeleteSue - Don't think I've ever seen a quail egg, but I'll take your word for it!
DeleteMama must have hiccuped during the laying of this little cutie. You gonna eat it?
ReplyDeleteLaurie - It had no yolk . . . just the white. For some reason, I guess the hen wanted to get it out before everything was ready!
DeleteOmelet sized for the twins? Or one of the twins?
ReplyDeleteSusan - The way those two eat, we'd have to add a couple more eggs!
DeleteHa! Love your photo.

DeleteMama Pea,
ReplyDeleteSounds like your chickens are testing you :PPP
Just teasing!!!
Sandy - I think you're right!! :o]
DeleteJust beautiful
ReplyDeleteWe call those little ones fart eggs. I'm not sure if there's a reason...probably don't want to know. :)
ReplyDeletehoosier - It's always a bit of a surprise to find one in a nest box, isn't it?
