Ity bity eggs...

Hello y'all! I don't have any pictures, but every once in a while I will get an egg about the size of the end of a man's thumb. I raise Australorps and Rhode Island Red's, no banties. Any clues?

I believe it's a fart egg. Are there yolks inside them? It's just a glitch and should be fine.

Some had yolks while the others did not. I was only askin' because it kept happening, ya know?

How often does it happen?
Just in the past month or so......or always?
How old are your birds?

I think it happens once every 1-2 months. It's always been like that. My girls turned one in may/june
