A little egg

[chickosdy]

I went to gather my eggs this morning and found one of the smallest eggs I've ever seen it concerned me so I google it. It said that If something disturbs her reproductive system. which means the hen didn't release a yoke before her body started producing the egg.

they happen from time to time ...stress,.. heat , fireworks, predator scares... I have had ones with a yolk, but most are all whites

Most likely just a glitch in the "egg making machine"

I read about these once and found one in my nest. They're nothing to worry about, it is exactly like a glitch, haha Weird enough, they're completely edible although usually yolkless. Mine wasn't though. I got a tiny plate of scrambled eggs!
