Wow that's a small Egg! What breeds do you have? Are your hens stressed? Or are they acting strange?
If one is acting wierd she may have some kind of disease and if not maybe it was a one time thing.
 
Fairy, fart, rooster eggs are usually from a tiny piece of tissue breaking loose from the reproductive tract, or an immature ova(yolk) and the body forms an egg around it. Color can be darker than 'normal' as the pigment coating released has to cover a much smaller area so is thicker. Can happen with any age layer.

I think it's explained in this video:
