Great pic!

Fairy, fart, wind, rooster eggs are usually from a tiny piece of tissue breaking loose from the reproductive tract, or an immature ova(yolk) and the body forms an egg around it. Color can be darker than 'normal' as the pigment coating released has to cover a much smaller area so is thicker. Can happen with any age layer, but more common with new or older layers.
 
Well, I found this one yesterday and it looks like my girl is having a problem. Poor thing. She is the pretty hen too! I put it next to a normal egg so you can observe the difference easily.
