Austrawhite eggs ?

[Newchickenlover1102]

We inherited a flock from the neighbor but also have 5 Austrawhites that are now 13 weeks old. Today I found the "tiny egg" in the nesting box used by all chickens. Is this a pullet egg? Or something I should worry about in one of the other hens? As far as I can tell the Austrawhites will lay an off white or cream colored egg and this is darker. The previous flock owner said her chickens have never laid tiny eggs and thinks this is my first pullet egg. TIA

It could be but that probably means your Austrawhite is older than you think. Do you have a photo of her? Does she look mature enough to lay? My Autrawhites lay off-white, cream, and sometimes they can look that color.

At that age they shouldn’t (and likely can’t) lay, so it is probably a fairy egg, just a small egg adult hens kick out every once in a while. Probably nothing to worry about.

Definitely not one of their eggs. Someone else just laid a small egg.
