Interesting. Someone pointed out recently that the eggs from our
bantams
have a much higher ratio of yolk to white. Not that I've (so far)
noticed a
problem with the bantam eggs.

Well, you wouldn't, as the it's the white which contains albumen...


Can you just lean your head over here a bit whilst I smack it, please?
Ta.


It's quite true that small eggs have less white but the yolks are pretty
much the same size.
