My EE started laying 2 days ago.  We got one normal (green!) egg yesterday and today we got two...the "normal" sized one is a bit irregularly shaped, and then there was this little mini!  The brown egg is from our BR, just for reference.

I'm assuming it's because she's just starting out, but should I be concerned?

I found one the other day and my girls have been laying daily for months. When I cracked it open all it had in it was white no yolk. They really are funny looking compared to normal size eggs.

DH and I often look out of our kitchen window and try to remember what we did before we got our girls and boy... When I want to laugh I just walk outside with a bowl or bag of treats... 25 of the sweetest chickens in the world come running... We also have 5 rescue kitties that we love dearly...
