First time with rooster

Thank heaps I'll do more research. Yes that tiny egg does look like a bird egg not a chicken egg but it was in the nest box of the coop. I'll learn to candle it

Also it's probably a fart egg if it's from an older bird so odds are nonviable. And to candle for fertility you need to incubate for a few days before hand.

Yeah thx I thought it could be a fart egg. My girl is getting older

Augh, fart eggs stink. Out of my 5 laying hens, today I got 2 fart eggs and 3 normal eggs. I hope that this isn't a thing.

Ooooooo! Maybe they dared each other.

Ugh, maybe.
Chicken a: "I laid a fart egg today. I dare you to beat me with a smaller egg!"
Chicken b: "Ha ha ha! I can easily beat you!"

Well it doesn't smell. I reckon it's just an anomaly from her

To keep track of the percentage of fertile eggs, you could keep a piece of paper in the kitchen and record how many eggs you use and of those how many are fertile. You may not want to let a hen sit on eggs until you have a high percentage of fertile eggs so that she isn't sitting for 21ish days on a pile of unfertilized eggs.

I meant that fart eggs are no fun. They are definitely disappointing, though?
