Tiny egg. Concern?

[jnicholes]

Hello,

Was out collecting eggs, when I found this:



I have NEVER seen my golden sex links lay an egg this small. There was another instance of a larger egg, still small, that had no yolk.

Is this a concern?

Nope, just a fart egg they happen and it is fine.

I have no idea but it is ADORABLE! Did it have a yolk?

Hello,

A VERY tiny yolk. It was cute.

I like that term, @Chickassan! I am laughing!

Fart egg, wind egg, fairy egg, witch egg. People call them all kinds of things. I like fart egg, because i'd imagine that is what it feels like to lay one.

Ha ha ha! Yep. I think of the hens sitting in the nest box thinking they need to lay. Then ppffflltt and a tiny little egg is there. I can imagine the hen turning around and wondering what happened. Quickly leaving the box like "That wasn't me. It was there when I got in."

I love this! Do they think the same thing when the get poop on the egg, too? "Wonder who could have done that...???"

"That Henrietta always making my eggs messy."

"That Henrietta always making my eggs messy."

Then they should use a different nesting box! But I think they like to be able to blame each other. Hence, all the eggs in the same spot.

my Sussex hen laid a small egg yesterday, I haven't cracked open yet.
