A REAL FAIRY EGG

in fairyegg •  5 years ago 

Sometimes when a chicken hen first starts to lay or when something interrupts her laying cycle she will lay a tiny yolkless egg called a "fairy egg" (sometimes called a witch egg). I prefer fairy.

These are somewhat rare and cute as they can be though not much of a meal.
