One of our hens occasionally lays a mini-egg.
And by mini, I mean like the size of a quarter.No, she's not a banty, so I have no idea why they occasionally come out this tiny. And I also have no idea which of the 16 hens is laying these, except that it's not the Americauna, who lays green eggs.
Compared to a "regular" sized egg - it would take a lot of these to make a cake!They do, however, cook up into the cutest little fried egglet you've ever seen.
* Ok, so it's not really a proto-critter either - we don't have a rooster so our eggs aren't even fertilized. Work with me here.
That's bizarre! I've never seen such a thing... I wonder why it comes out so small. Is the yolk inside also mini?
ReplyDeleteIn2paints, yes, it does have a mini yolk! It's just like a normal egg but tiny!
ReplyDeleteIs the flavor more intense? Same amount of taste, less egg to spread it through?
ReplyDeleteDom, no, it tastes just like a normal egg... only smaller!
