Tiny egg

[Mccluckers]

When I collevted the eggs today there was a very small egg with the other ones,it is exactly the same colour as one of the other eggs in the box( I have a mixed flock and there is only one hen who lays a white egg, so far) the Han that lays the White egg hadn't layed for a few days, I also have several pulkets coming Up to lay so I could be one of them or the other hen. Wouldn't it be unusual for a hen to lay 2 eggs I one day? Who could it be?

Thanks

Forgot to. Nation that the hen who lays the large egg is 2 years old

It is possible one of your pullet laid the smaller egg. Pullets will lay such an egg as their system works out the kinks. And occasionally you'll find a mature hen who will lay a 'fart' egg or 'wind' egg. This type of egg is simply an 'oops' that may happen for whatever reason. A wind egg usually doesn't have a yolk in it.

But would a mature hen lay a wind egg and a normal egg?

Thanks for your reply

Mine do.






Some of my tiny eggs were double-yolks which really surprised me.

Beautiful eggs! Sorry I meant would they lay a normal egg and wind egg in the same day?

Not usually.

Ok I think it maybe a pullet the. Because there is one which I thought might lay for a while now. Thanks for your help
