I didn&#8217;t know that it was common for chickens to start off laying small eggs (called fairy eggs) until we got the Bresse hens. They&#8217;re not great for hatching (really tiny chick incubates and often cannot even get out of the egg), but the eggs are perfectly edible. I think we&#8217;ll be making pickled eggs with this year&#8217;s tiny eggs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220925_213913.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9451 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220925_213913.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220925_213913.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220925_213913-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220925_213913-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220925_213913-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220925_213913-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The chickens we hatched earlier this year have started laying their first eggs &#8212; our first chicken to lay an egg (Queenington) laid a large egg, and the rest of our egg layers followed with fairly normal chicken-egg sized eggs.
