Even Tinier Egg

There were seven eggs today.  
Including a surprise.  
Sitting in the nesting box with the big eggs, there was one tiny egg.


We assume it was laid by one the very young buff orpington chicks.
She was born in May!

The egg weighed 4 grams.
The two largest eggs in the bowl weighed 73 grams and 71 grams.

The tiny egg had a rubbery shell in parts, and it broke.  There was no yolk.

How cool! Looks like once a week so far for the new hen. And amazing that she knows where to put them. (Or maybe not; maybe you are only finding those that are put where you are "trained" to look!)

I'm envious of the raspberries, too.
