What was inside those eggs?

Decided to break open Lucy's funny shaped eggs to see what was inside"


 No yolk!


 Charlie walks over to take a look:


 The girls weren't going to waste it - they ate everything, even the shell!


This is the other tiny one:


 Again, no yolk, but this too was gone in a minute!
 


Can't wait to see what Lucy plops out next time!

    1. Henapause! Maybe that is why she is getting so fat too. She's a good ol girl - no stew pot for her!

    2. After my Hendrika went thru it and stopped laying, she grew fat and happy, never missing it a bit. 4 years later, she just hunkered down in a nest box and "flew away" for good. Nice hen.

    3. I'm glad your Hendrika had a lot more years! It's hard not to get attached to the friendly ones. I lost my favorite, Evil Ethe during the Winter .I could even put silly costumes on her!

    4. The goldies I lost always seemed to die in the winter. The black ones, i.e. Hendrika, Henrieta (well loved fav's) -and other blacks lived well past their change of life...Henapause as you so aptly named it. The blacks were just stronger a breed, I guess.

    5. A while back I had two black Wyandotte bantams - a rooster and a hen - She was broody 24/7 and he was not very friendly - always fighting . Gave them to a local farmer. Chicken show here next month - don't know what kind I'll bring home. There are just so many to choose from!
