Tiny egg. Concern?

[aart]

Quickly leaving the box like "That wasn't me. It was there when I got in."

Fairy, fart, wind, rooster eggs are usually from a tiny piece of tissue breaking loose from the reproductive tract, or an immature ova(yolk) and the body forms an egg around it. Color can be darker than 'normal' as the pigment coating released has to cover a much smaller area so is thicker. Can happen with any age layer, but more common with new or older layers.

Hello,

First, I was concerned about the chickens because of the small egg, and now I am laughing out loud at this hilarious conversation.

One of our hens I named "Ms. Broody," she is easily identified by the comb being smaller than the others, and she sits on the eggs occasionally. I be they were thinking, "Ms. Broody always sits in the box, she must have done it and not me!"

I was thinking the same thing when our neighbor's tree collapsed and fell in the run, I bet they were thinking, "I didn't do it! It's not my fault! It just fell!"
