Sick and tired of fart eggs

[NicInNC]

My banties are only laying eggs the size of a marble. What's up with that?! They were on a regular laying schedule and I was getting one egg each day. Now, I'm only getting a fart egg maybe once a week. They are being fed Dumor Layer feed and I have plenty of oyster shell available.

What's the deal?

Moulting? Getting ready for a moult? Taking a break? How old are they?

They will be a year old in June.

I don't see any signs of moulting. Their feathers don't look messed up or anything. My one banties comb is all crooked suddenly though.

I've never gotten a fart egg. I want some really bad to! LOL I think their cute.

OK. I know how much some of you want these marble sized eggs, but I DON'T!

She is still laying these eggs. I haven't gotten a normal sized egg in over a month. Does anyone have a clue as to why?

A teeny tiny and/or oddly sized egg common with pullets starting to lay, hens getting ready to stop or take a break.

Often they're yokeless. Sometimes they'll be complete, just tiny. I've only gotten them from very young pullets.​
