Chick laid a tiny egg?

[aurajean515]

Hey guys,
I went out to the coop today and while checking on the chicks in the brooder, I found a teeny tiny egg. I've heard of fairy eggs happening early in a hens life before their hormones are fully developed, but these chicks are barely even fully feathered, not even a month old.
I took a picture comparing it to a dime, quarter, med sized egg, and a bantam egg. Weird!

in adult chickens small eggs such as those would be called fart eggs......

It was in the CHICKS cage?! Can any adult chickens access it?

Right, fairy eggs are also reffered to as fart, wind, witch, and cock eggs. Never seen it with such a young chick...

Yeah, right next to the feeder. No adult chickens can get into the pen at all
