Tiny egg with scrambled yolk.

[Castlemaid]

I get a scrambled tiny egg about two or three times a year. I’ve posted about this before but this time I have pics. Any insight as to why this happens?

Looks like a fairy egg. This might help you....

I thought fairy eggs normally didn't have a yolk and and where produce by POL pullets? My hens are older and normally good layers.

Young pullets might produce fairy eggs when they first start laying – their reproductive system is just trying to catch up.

hens lay fairy eggs when under stress, notably with one hen that had been savaged by a rooster.

Her reproductive cycle might have been disturbed by the stress, or her body might not have been able to produce a real egg because it was putting its energy into healing her body.

Fairy eggs can also be laid when a foreign mass (such as a piece of tissue) triggers the hen’s system to produce an egg.
Yours looks to have a foreign object in it.

Just a glitch.

'Fairy' eggs can be laid by any aged layer.
They can have pieces of tissue and/or an immature yolk.
That looks a bit big for a fairy egg.
