Could this be a first egg? Or just variance?

Good morning everyone! So a few days ago I mixed my 8- 1 year olds hens (leghorns and sussex) and 3 - 18 week hens (RIR and Barred rocks) into a single coop after weeks of seperate coops. They were joined coops just had wire in between. Up until now I have been getting 7 or 8 eggs a day and I knew mixing them could stress and stop egg production, So this morning I'm all Lalala going to get my eggs, and I find this tiny little egg with 6 big ones. (so cute) So my question to you egg gurus is do you think this is from my 18 week old girls or just a mishap from stress from the older ladies?? Is also appears to have some chalky like speckles on it.

Edit: Just went out to congratulate the young lady and found 2 more full sized eggs so I am sure it is from the 18 week old as all the older ladies have laid. I'm so eggcited! going to throw a egg party haha

I think that egg is from one of your 18 week olds, my 20 week olds gave me some eggs just like it.

One of my girls, Buttercup, started laying the tiniest eggs like that. They're so cute! Husky's eggs started like that, but are slowly getting bigger.
