Oddly, in the US at a local hardware store. I bought it specifically because it had metric on it and was small. Metric system, best system.
Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.

All from adult (2.5 year old) hens within a one week span 🤷
EDIT: also, one particular hen routinely lays those large, weird, elongated eggs. She’s a buff orpington
I support it!
No, all of our hens are “normal” sized layers - speckled sussex, buff orpington, white leghorn, and black stars. Based on the color of the egg, I think it was from a speckled sussex.
For fun, here’s a large-normal-small comparison.
I have one particular chicken that does this pretty regularly. Long and kind of skinny, often with an odd texture on the end, sometimes with a weird constriction in the middle.
Also, you inspired me to post a pic of a tiny egg I got last week : https://lemmy.world/post/24677253
This is from a full grown 2.5 year old chicken that typically lays “normal” eggs… not sure why she laid one tiny one randomly.
Not sure yet, we’ve just been gawking at it and haven’t eaten it yet.
… I sense a follow up post.
