the first egg is a pullet egg the middle is the smallest i have ever seen and the last is a leghorn egg
the next pic is the smallest one next to a pop can tab
 
Our hens just started laying and we've gotten a few that small.... but all of ours but one have had yolks.
 
it had a yolk in it very small yolk im wondering if i could have hatched it. it was from a regular size chicken cause i dont have any small breeds.
 
i have had white silkie pullets lay them that small, kinda funny they can lay a pullet egg smaller than my serama's lay eggs,lol. all have had tiny yolks except 1 it had just whites.

Awww, it's a fart egg! One of my girls laid one of those when she was really young.

It's just a fluke. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with your hen, it just happens when a small bit of tissue in the oviduct is mistaken for a yolk, and the albumen and shell are formed around it.
