Fairy egg at 11 months?

[aart]

Small pullet eggs are not necessarily fart/fairy eggs.
Some pullets can take days, weeks, or months for eggs to get to their 'normal' size.

Fairy, fart, wind, rooster eggs are usually from a tiny piece of tissue breaking loose from the reproductive tract, or an immature ova(yolk) and the body forms an egg around it. Color can be darker than 'normal' as the pigment coating released has to cover a much smaller area so is
I think it's explained in this excellent video, which is worth watching regardless:

thicker. Can happen with any age layer, but more common with older layers.

We have a bantam who laid 2 fairy eggs, and one of them beats the world record!(I think)

I have one silkie who lays mini eggs and her sister, who is smaller, produces much bigger eggs. I suppose one small egg is just a blip.

Thanks for your input

Any hen can lay a fairy egg once in a while. It's only if it becomes a consistent pattern that you need to worry about it.

thanks

Thanks. I thought it was just odd because I havent seen a fairy egg since probably August.

So I got a fairy egg from a hen who's been laying about a year and a half, never remember a fairy egg from her before. Is this a sign she's about ready to stop laying? She has not molted or anything since she was a chick. She lays tons of eggs, I just figured, as posted here, that it was a little glitch in her system.

How long can they lay fairy eggs?

I've got a Swedish Flower hen that's 13 months, 2 weeks old (58 weeks) as of today. And she's still laying fairy eggs with regularity. I do believe I got a few very large sized eggs out of her earlier in the spring, but all I'm finding now is these yolk-less small eggs.

Is it still possible she'll break out of her funk and start laying normal sized eggs. She's not going to the pet farm because it's one of my Ma's favorites, unfortunately.
