The incredible shrinking eggs? What\'s up?
Providence Hill:
My daughter has been getting some lovely blue eggs from her little flock of bantam wheaten & black pullets, but today she found something that looked just exactly like a robin\'s egg. Even stranger, yesterday she also found a very small egg, although not as small as today\'s. In the photo (sorry it\'s blurry) you can see one of her normal eggs, followed by yesterday\'s, followed by today\'s (with a dime for reference). What\'s going on? Will whoever is laying these eggs go back to laying normal ones again? This is their first spring laying, if that makes a difference. Sorry I couldn\'t capture the color, they really are a very pretty blue. She wants to save the tiny one, but I\'m not sure I can blow out an egg that small without crushing it!
Mike Gilbert:
\"Peanut eggs\" are not that unusual. I\'m not sure what causes them, but usually the eggs from that hen will return to normal after they take a break from the laying cycle.
Providence Hill:
Oh good! Although it was charming to find one so small. The kids thought a robin had somehow gotten into the coop.
Birch Run Farm:
That\'s an egg fart.
