Tiny eggs

How old are your pullets?

Varies from 9 weeks to 6 months old

The six month olds might have started. Or if you have any five month old ones.

That are the cutest eggs I ever saw! Do they have yolks?

We call those fart eggs too! So funny. It happens rarely, but usually if we get one of those it doesn't have a yolk. I don't know what causes it but our hens haven't had any problems afterwards, so I wouldn't worry.

I agree that those are fart or wind eggs. They only contain albumen. No ovulation occurred but some tissue may have sloughed off and caused production of albumen without a yolk. Sometimes, with mature birds, it happens when lay cycle is nearing an end.
Calcium isn't the problem. There is nothing wrong with the shell. There just isn't a yolk inside.
Ovulation and production of a yolk are, among other things, influenced by protein.
Calcium, on the other hand has little to do with ovulation. It is necessary for muscle function and nerve transmission but primarily for skeletal structure and in laying hens, building a shell after a yolk and albumen passes into the uterus.

I had Leghorns who they started laying one of them made a "fart" egg, no yolk all whites. But that was one egg out of 60 chickens and it only happened once early in the Hens laying life.

Young pullets normally start laying by laying abnormally small eggs.

No I had to find out, so I opened it, and it was extra gooey white inside. The shell was kind of tough as well. Disappointed, lol, would've been adorable!!
