Yesterday evening after several trial nests, the time had come for my latest and largest female to lay her first clutch. Since she had been quite worried for a while, I decided to leave her alone and just take a sneak preview on her once in a while. But when she finally was done and I started to dig up the nest for the eggs, guess what a surprise ? I found two eggs; one "normal" egg of 36 grams and the other egg was the tiniest Red Foot egg I've ever seen !!! The weight was only 1 gram and it was 3/4 of an inch long, really cute
This is not unique in any way for a first timer, since the eggs in their first clutch(es) can be very odd, misshaped, non fertile etc, but I've never seen this tiny egg before...
And I know for sure that this never will hatch, but imagine how small that RedFoot would be, if it actually did ?
