    I figgered it was one of my EE's idea of a joke, I'd been bugging them about starting to give me eggs. I was told that a "fart egg" is kinda like a practice egg for young laying hens.

    They're just a glitch in the system, nothing to worry about. Usually they won't have a yolk, or just a little bit of yolk in them. I've also heard them called fairy eggs.
