[sarabeth]

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

Wow that is tiny!! Is it from a regular size chicken?

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

One of our barred rocks eggs whee that small. She only did it once though. Amazing isn't it?

I've found two like that in the last month.......mine were yokeless. Strange!

Our hens just started laying and we've gotten a few that small.... but all of ours but one have had yolks.

 

[sarabeth]

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.

my 4 year old jelena

's them. her nickname is sissy and when she see's them when she helps me collect eggs, it's momma look

they laid me a sissy size egg!!!

she always get's them for breakfast,lol. course i still got to make her momma sized eggs too.

edit for spelling

I think I've seen them called "fart eggs." Google it...

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.
