Description:
"It could hardly have been worth the effort - to the hen, anyway" - said Mr Wally Robertson, of Maxwell Road, when he displayed these results from his backyard fowls - a miniature egg among half a dozen others. Measuring less than an inch high and about threequarters of an inch across, the egg looks more like a bird's egg than a hen's. It weighs one-quarter of an ounce compared with the 1 3/4 oz of the normal-sized egg.
