One of these things is not like the others.

I had a bit of a surprise in the nest box! A tiny little egg, less than half the size of what my hens usually lay. I’ve read that sometimes there are hiccups in the egg development process and eggs are produced without a yolk resulting in what some people call “fairy eggs”. I had to see if that was the case with this egg!

I broke it open and the egg did in fact have a yolk, just very small. A small perfect little egg. How interesting.
