Today to my delight, I found the loveliest little sage-green egg with white speckles- perfectly formed, just in miniature!
However it does lead me to a question... The egg undoubtedly comes from one of two 6 mo old Cream Legbars. Over the past week, I have also found 3 normally sized eggs with a hint of mint to their color. Because that seemed like a lot of eggs for one pullet during the winter mos, I had assumed both girls were laying. But since I've read fairy eggs are usually the product of a hen's first attempts to lay, I'm wondering if perhaps the other 3 eggs did come from the same lady.
Have any of you ever known your pullets to lay a normal egg and then a fairy egg before returning to normal? Thanks!
