    We got an egg that's smaller than a quarter. What is that all about?

    It's a yolkless egg also known as a fart egg [​IMG] Pretty common when they are gearing up for laying season [​IMG]

    Everybody has a bad day every now and then.

    It's best not to bring it up in front of the group, as it would embarass the layer. Think of it as a fart during a meeting: you just ignore it and everybody gets bak to work.

    I'm laughing so hard I'm crying! Farting is grand humor in this house!

    yep, I think they're precious! I have two of them in my kitchen windowsill, and the turkey's first egg on the other side for comparison. [​IMG]

    I got one like that and cracked it open, and it did have a tiny yolk.
