HELP! Found really small egg!

I'm thinking a glitch also but a CUTE one.

Once in a while I get some really odd eggs for no reason I've had abnormally large eggs, perfect round eggs, unbelievably thin shelled, unbelievably thick shelled, no shell, tons of calcium deposits, odd colored, and other weird things. All my chickens are happy and never continue laying problem eggs. As previously said, it's probably just a glitch

They are called "fart egg" or "fairy eggs" and just happen sometimes.

Here's a cute blog post about them:

I haven’t found any more small eggs. Thanks everyone!

Small eggs can happen when chickens are beginning to lay, and when they are reaching the end of their regular egg production. At 3, I’m guessing this is what is going on.

Yes. I’m thinking they are almost done

Imma guess its an "eggless" (yolkless) egg. Get them on occasion. All egg white inside. Wanted to try to breed for it specifically to get all white eggs. Take that eggbeaters

I am still a novice chicken owner, but in my studies, I have learned of a fairy egg. Actually I got one the other day....my chickens are a month shy of being 1 year old. There is a possibility that is what it is...heres a thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/fairy-eggs.927723/
