My 1 year old Easter Egger laid her first egg after the winter but it came out a little funny. I think it’s just a strange dud egg but does anybody know what this actually is? I’m not worried but just really curious on what happened. But if there is something I should worry about please tell me lol. The white “yolk” wasn’t easily malleable so I used a knife to cut it open and it had more of that egg white or jelly-like substance in it.
edit: forgot to mention that the egg was small sorry there’s no size reference :(

you mentioned it was small. could be a fairy egg. sometimes hens lay very small eggs often with no yolk, and it's called a fairy egg. it's perfectly normal, especially for new layers. hope this helps :)
