A while ago I posted about what I thought was Daisy’s first egg (which actually turned out to be Victoria’s). Victoria had laid an egg already and I ate it that day. It was disappointing because as well as being very small, the yolk was disproportionately small compared to the white.
Today I finally got around to eating the really tiny second egg and it was really good – even though it was even smaller than the other one it was virtually all yolk and no white!
I hadnt realised that eggs varied in ratio of white and yolk as well as size. I am learning a lot about chickens and eggs!
I don’t think it is normal for the ratio of white and yolk to vary – all of the other eggs I have had have been very consistent. I think it was just a one off because it was her first egg. It seems as though both eggs came along at the same time and the first one got all of the white.
