Help Tiny Egg

[new world]

Have your girls ever laid a teeny weeny egg????? I tried to insert a picture here but couldn't. It is about the same size as my thumb nail and I am a female. Is it normal for them to lay such a tiny egg every now and again. I am worried as I am not experienced with chickens yet and i am worried that she has a problem. Please help

...you should look up "fart" egg...people on this forum seem to call them that for some reason

Nothing to be worried about. Just like sometimes our girls give us gigantic eggs lol

Yes, I've only had "fart" eggs that are about the size of bantam eggs or silkie eggs (never seen a silkie egg). & mine have had yolks. Got a new pullet just starting to lay, but have also had a "fart" egg from a grown hen as well. It just happens sometimes. I've heard of many "fart" eggs being VERY small, like the size of a marble & it not having a yolk.
