Yesterday when I went out for the usual egg collection mid-morning I discovered the TINIEST chicken egg ever. Literally, I thought it might be a poop in the laying box... but it was, in fact, an egg. It only weighs about .5oz and it is brown speckled (Keep in mind: typical egg = 1.5oz, Josephine's eggs = 3.75oz). Then this morning when I was collecting eggs I noticed one of the red chickens was in the process of laying (that is normal - most of the time you see a few laying eggs in the boxes) but instead of facing out, she was facing in the box - basically sticking her butt out of it. I figured it would be really interesting to see her phsyically laying the egg so I watched her for a minute. The egg started to emerge and then...... bloop! TINY EGG!!! Haha. I found the culprit of the tiny eggs! So now there are TWO teenie tiny eggs here. Tomorrow I am going to take some pictures when we get a third one (IF we get a third) and I will post them... then we are going to make some teenie tiny omelets. YAY!
Tomorrow the ducklings get moved to the great outdoors! They are starting to really look like ducks now... with oversized feet and bills:) And they have been getting out of the pool very frequently now so, its time for them to be grown up ducks!
