I didn't know that about the orb spider, but I definitely knew that about the chicken eggs...though I've never seen one shaped quite like the one pictured here. :) Our chickens have laid eggs that were HUGE (double yolkers) and eggs that were teeny tiny. <a href="http://littlehouseinthefoothills.blogspot.com/2009/07/eggs-tremes.html" rel="nofollow">http://littlehouseinthefoothills.blogspot.com/2009/07/eggs-tremes.html</a> I've heard that when they lay the really tiny ones, they're either finishing up their laying cycle or just beginning it.  Have you heard that if you're wanting to increase your egg supply, throw a bit of red pepper in the chickens' feed?  Not sure if it works or not, but I've heard that.    Anyway, thanks for a great post.  By the way, I linked to your site the other day!  I appreciate you sharing all these goodies with us! Have a great day! Denese, I loved this post.
