Smallest egg

[roddelmae]

I often see on this forum the largest egg being recorded, but today I collected what must be one of the smallest eggs. It is 3 cm long and 2 cm diameter, and it is red one end.
I think it was laid by one of my chooks because I can't see a wild bird choosing their nest box to lay an egg.
Do I need to worry?

I'm not sure about the colour - but we had a couple of really tiny eggs in January.
They were minature versions of the usual. They tasted fab and had the smallest, cutest yolk I have ever seen!

It might be a wind egg rod

Sorry Josh, you'll have to explain that one!

Hi, here's a pic of my girls 'wind egg'.

It is basically what it says, nothing in the middle but 'wind'.

Sorry Rod I should have explained. As Debbie says nothing in the middle. You may find there is no yolk, they are sometimes called fart eggs - oops

My ladies would never lay one of those - they are far too polite!

Have heard of 'wind eggs' but both of the tiny eggs we had had their full complement of insides.
