Ok, so I was going out to put my chickens away tonight and it was just barely bright enough to see and I was collecting eggs and when I was feeling around felt something super small, hard, and round, at first I could not believe my eyes and thought I was hallucinating or something but no! When I brought it inside I weighed it and it only weighed 13 grams!! (.5 ounces)
(I promise you that there was no photoshop or picture editing involved as I used a variety of different backgrounds, lighting, and comparisons)
It's usually a underdelveloped yolk or meat but that slips out a little early, the egg tract does the rest, I've see normal eggs with oops eggs in them, chickens are strange critters.
