Surprise egg in nesting box...

[LDSmama]

My husband found this egg in the nesting box today:

I do not have gigantic hands - that egg is barely an inch at the longest dimension. I have the following chickens:

3 White Rocks
1 Blue Copper Maran
2 Speckled Sussex
1 Egyptian Fayoumi
1 Barred Rock
1 Buff Brahma
1 Cuckoo Maran
1 Exchequer Leghorn
1 Silver Laced Wyandotte

These hens were all hatched February 2018, and until today, the smallest egg we ever got was about 1.5" in length, and that was early in their laying careers. Is this even possible? Should I worry?

 

[Ol Grey Mare]

Known as wind, fairy, rooster or even fart egg....generally yolk less as they instead form around a small piece of tissue from inside the hens reproductive tract. The small size of the tissue "yolk" causes the rest of the egg formed around it to be correspondingly small. Nothing to be alarmed about
