Making my usual morning rounds, cleaning out nesting boxes because the one hen house is a little overcrowded so they sleep in the nesting boxes...which drives me crazy. The bigger coop sleeps up to 8 chickens but only 5 have taken up residence in there. Anyway...I always take a garden shovel and clean out the poop so the eggs don't get dirty...people like clean eggs. I was just about to scoop this little 'toot' out onto the ground. I think these smaller eggs are actually called fairy eggs. This one was smaller than any fairy egg I have ever gotten...and we have gotten a few. Just checking my info and a fairy egg is actually a small yolkless egg. I have always thought it was just the size. So Monday when all my dad's lady friends a Wyngate see the egg...we will crack it open and I will let you know if it had a yolk or not.
The color is such a dark green. Emerald green.
It doesn't even register on the scale. I measured it...from end to end it is 3/4 of an inch long. And it is 1/2 in width.
