Egg with just a yolk and no white in a soft shell

[kennybird37]

I was woundering if anyone has ever ran across one of your chickens that layed an egg with just a yolk and no white, with a real soft almost see through shell. I cant figure out wich one is laying it , I have 48 hens ! So I cant tell who it is. All the rest of my eggs are awesome and just fine! Thank You Kenny

These are some of the odd things that happen with egg laying. Click on the categories on the left:

Yes, I have had a fart egg with only a yolk, no white. You get all sorts of weird eggs, especially with new layers.

Hi Kenny

It's normal for newly laying pullets to have a glitch in the system, as they get older, things will smooth out. I would sometimes find a shell-less egg and a yolk on the poop board in the am. Hasn't happened in a while, my girls have just turned a yr old this summer.
Hope that helps, I also never did figure out which of my 8 was the one doing it, so I doubt you'd figure out which of your 48 is doing it!

 

[my peeps and me]

My chicks just started laying, or at least one or two of them are.
I got 1 egg Sunday,1 Monday
Tues just a yolk, and no egg Wed
today I received a perfect looking (mini)egg:

Can't wait for them all to start laying!
