I found the tiniest egg! Is this normal? pics

I looked into my coop today and saw this little egg. I've heard of double yokers, but never this! It's so cute! I assume this is normal for a chicken to lay, but I just wanted to make sure. So, could this indicate anything bad for the hen who laid it? Is there something in particular that might have caused this (like our unusual amount of rain)?
THanks!

Quite normal! They're called "fart eggs" or "fairy eggs". Sometimes a young pullet will lay this for her first egg, but sometimes the older gals just seem to spit one out! Very cute!

YOu guys are soooo funny!

. Yeah for a week I will get pretty brown large eggs and out of the blue I will get a lightish brown fart egg. It's always a suprise! Gonna see if it hatches soon. I really hope so.
