Hi there. I have a one year old hen (either one of my Bard rocks or Columbian rock) that is still laying golf ball size eggs with no yolk inside. I’m not sure which of the 14 hens it is. Anyone else come across this? I raised them from day olds.
 
Yolk less eggs are commonly called Fart Eggs, or Fairy eggs. They are usually much smaller than golf ball.
It should shake out in time. I don't know the reasoning for this occurrence, but also never heard of a solution for it.
There is a way to determine witch hen lays a particular egg. BUT with 14 hens, it does get challenging.
A dab of food coloring on the vent will leave streaks of color on egg.
Don't know of 14 different food color shade options.


WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and :welcome
