What On Earth?

I have 6 two year old Golden Comet hens. One of them laid this "minature" egg. What do you make of this?

Some tissue could have passed through and made a shell around it, you should crack it open and see. Other times it happens when they are just starting to lay, or ran out of water (which I highly doubt, because the other ones are big and healthy).

Thanks! I'll crack it open & prolly barf..............

Probably just a wind/fart egg. When you open it it may or may not have a yolk. Happens occasionally, common in newly laying pullets.

SO.....what was in the egg?

It's probably yolkless. Things like this happen once in a while; it is nothing to be worried about.

Sorry, about that!

This is perfectly normal for young hens just beginning to lay. Don't worry about any of your chickens---I'm sure they're just fine and healthy! One of your younger hens is probably just beginning to lay eggs for the first time, and instead of a normal egg full of nutritious yolk, this mini thing came out! X3

I am mighty curious as to what's in the egg, though... Haha.

As the suspense builds........... You'll just have to wait until tomorrow......... I just know my 4 YO grandaughter is going to ask the same question . She'll be here tomorrow, so stay tuned!
