My RIRs lay a mini egg every once in a while ... learned it's called a "fart egg". When I cracked it open it did not have a yolk.
 
Hi and welcome to BYC - you have some great advice already so I'll just say hello!

All the best

i got one of those not too long ago.




There IS an egg in that compartment!




Imagine my surprise when I opened it and it wasn't a fart egg, but a perfectly formed little egg with a beautiful (but tiny) yolk, a nice inner yolk and the outer yolk. The chalazae (and I'm sure I spelled that wrong!) was almost bigger then the whole thing! None of my chickens are young, new layers so it was a bit of a shocker. Almost missed it in the nest completely!
