Found this in nesting box

[iowacluck]

I am new here so hoping i am doing this right. We have 8 hens that are just over 1 year old, one turned very broody so we got some furtil eggs from someone and let her hatch and raise them. They are now 8 weeks old and last night we found this tiny egg in a nesting box. What do you think?

It's a egg called fart fairy or oops eggs, caused when a small foreign object enters the oviduct and is treated like a egg. They normally don't have a yolk and there is nothing to worry about. I actually got one yesterday

Search "fart egg, fairy egg or rooster egg". They are not super common but do happen. One of your hens had an oops lol.

I agree, a fart or fairy egg. Here is a link to great egg quality probems article ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/common-egg-quality-problems

Welcome to BYC! I agree on fart egg as well. Happens from time to time and they're nothing to worry about. Hens can occasionally plop out some really weird looking eggs. Wavy shells, odd shapes, sometimes even shell-less eggs. As long as it's not consistent, it's more than likely a simple "oops."

Agree with the above. Nothing to worry about.
