Fart Egg


Here is a sample of what we collected today. We had an average white egg from our Pearl White Leghorn, a jumbo probably double yolker from our Ameracauna, and then this teensy little egg. It is the size of a cocktail olive. I was so excited to show Jay when he got home tonight. When he saw it, he said it had Guinness World Record potential. We raced to pose the eggs and take just the right photo at the just the right angle. I then quickly posted it on the Backyard Chicken forum that we so dorkily subscribe to so everyone could Ooh and Ahh and tell us how marvelous our chickens were. I hit "Enter" and breathlessly waited to get my first response. It came within seconds. I gasped "Jay! we have a response." As I clicked with anticipation, I came to discover a new word for my country vernacular as well as the answer to what this wondrous egg was..."a fart egg".
