Tiny duck egg

[DragonflyWoods]

Today I got a very tiny egg from one of my ducks. I believe it was my Khaki Campbell. Anyone have an idea why? Here is a picture of yesterday's normal egg compared to today's.

Sometimes younger ducks will have very small eggs, or if the duck is beginning laying or slowing down laying.

Maybe its yolkless. Birds can lay some strange eggs ,Double yolk, egg inside of egg, swirly. She could be getting ready to stop laying.

Thanks, I was wondering about the yolkless thing. This duck started laying a month ago and has been very consistant. We'll see if she is slowing down for the season. My chickens slowed down already. One has stopped and started to molt. I live in the NW of USA and our days are less than 12 hours now.

I found one just like that today, instead of her usual large size. They have been molting. They are 2 year old Anconas and it has been a little hit and miss lately. Lots of changes happening lately: New duck house and run, plus I added four ducklings which has both ducks upset. (The drake doesn't seem to care one way or the other.)
