Soft egg...No Yolk!!

[phatchicken]

I've read everything I can about soft egg shells, and feel like - Okay, I can handle that - but when I opened the egg to have a look - there was no yolk - at all. I am a little embarrased but I have no idea, physiologically why a chicken would lay an egg with no yolk. Anyone have an answer?? :-0

Sometimes chickens lay "fart eggs" or "wind eggs". They have no yolk in them.

That can happen with new layers. I think they are called wind egg.If it's an older hen I don't have an answer. I wouldn't worry about it. Good Luck.


Imp- I guess the "yolks" on you.

Funny...I wasn't yolkin' around!!! Just kiddin - I had a group of grade schoolers over visiting when I cut the egg open and they were very serious and concerned about the disection! Thanks for the info!
