My blog friend Shannon over at the Not So Virtual Homestead was writing recently about a huge egg that one of her chickens surprised her with.
We got a surprise too, but it was in the opposite direction.
One of the Dominique chickens must have gotten tired of laying normal eggs, and left us this tiny one.
A normal Dominique egg is on the left for comparison.
I didn't realize until I uploaded the pictures, that the depth of field on the macro setting was so shallow that to have the little egg in sharp focus meant that the normal one was a little fuzzy. Oops.
By that time my curiosity had gotten the best of me and I'd already cracked open the lilliputian egg to see what it looked like inside. So, no do-overs.
The inside looked pretty much like a normal egg in miniature.
(My sister recently made a comment about my liberal use of 50-cent words, so I had to work in "lilliputian" just for her.)
