Need your help with this chicken. is this respiratory disease? * includes video*

The respiratory disease, infectious bronchitis (IB,) can cause problems with egg shells. But I have seen tiny eggs with yolks in my flock in the past. I had a mild case of IB as well .

these chickens are probably 1.5 years old now, they were laying regularly for at least 7 or 8 months, nothing like this.

I have the egg saved but did not opened it yet.

will keep my eyes open.

Pic of egg intact, with a ruler for scale, and what's inside would be most helpful.

Picture with size of the small egg. When I boil it I will cut it in half to see if it has yolk

You'll see much more if you break it open when raw.

hmm, what am I expected to see? sorry for the question but I only have chickens for about 1 year and this is new to me.

Aart just is saying to break the egg into a bowl, and look for a yolk. If you boil it first, it may not be as easy to see. Most of the dozen or more wind eggs that my hens laid over the years, did have a yolk except for one. Wind or miniature eggs are just usually a mistake. Sometimes we may see odd eggs, such as a shell with a little tail, or just an egg membrane. Here is an interesting article on eggs:

Sorry for the late reply but these days were very busy.

Wife boiled the egg so I only have pictures after boiling. It seems this is an undeveloped egg? Or is this related with the disease?
