Tiny Egg

[mountainpridefarm]

The other day, and occasionally my hens will lay TINY eggs, I mean TINY. I am now wondering if this indicates any health issues and if I should be concerned...It doesn't happen often, but it has happened often enough for me to be concerned....

I have gotten tiny eggs on rare occasion. I've seen other posts on here about it, seems to be ok, I think.

i think they are commonly referred to as "egg farts"

Just a glitch in the system and nothing to worry about. They go by the names fart, wind, or (my fav) fairy eggs. Usually they are yolkless, but sometimes they'll have a tiny yolk or even just a smear of yellow in them.

Do the eggs have yolks? I had a hen that laid yokeless eggs. She did this her first couple of weeks of laying but I guess she just grew out if it.
