Teeny Perfect Egg!


Out to the chicken coop first thing this morning (well, after my first cup of coffee!).  Not in the nest boxes, but in the corner under the roosts, I find this perfect little wee egg.  It's such a beautiful little thing!  Now, The Girls, the Leghorns, are a year old and have been laying since June '09.  Why one would lay such a tiny thing is a mystery to me!  For the photo, I've included a quarter, for perspective ( a shiny new Canadian Olympic quarter!) as well as some of the regular eggs.  I wonder how they actually make those awesome, handpainted Ukrainian Easter Egss........

  1. The heck with handpainted Ukrainian Easter eggs -- I'm looking forward to some eggs over easy and Aagaard Farms bacon when I come in the summer. And if Farmer Man wants to throw in some homemade pan fries, so much the better!
