I've had some small eggs but this is a new one, that's a standard pill bottle lid.. not sure I'll feed anyone with that thing.

We get them like that once in a while. Usually they don’t even have a yolk in them. My grandson collected one a couple of weeks ago and I bet him a dollar it wouldn’t have a yolk in it, of course that one did have a small yolk, about the size of a small pill. I paid him his dollar.


Eh...wot?

My daughter said she wanted to hatch it, I said I doubt anything is in it to be truthful

There most likely isn't a yolk in it. Some of the tiny, so called fairy eggs can be jelly bean size.

My grandfather told me they were from young hen. Usually no yolk, but fun for us kids to gather up and eat

It's called a Pullet egg. I have picked up Rhode Island Red first eggs smaller around then a quarter. Every egg gets bigger every 3rd or 4 day. In about 2 weeks the eggs will be big. And will be double yokes for a few wks till they start laying close to one egg a day.

Older birds lay them too. Our layers are currently two and three years old and we just got a tiny egg like that a few weeks ago.

This isn't her first egg. These guys have been laying for over a year. I cracked it open and it did have a yolk super bloody. So that did surprise me.

We had several that size this spring/early summer out of our established flock. Not sure what causes it, but I think its pretty neat to see them
