Two Fairy Eggs in Two days

[polka_dottie]

In my flock, there's 2 mature Isa Reds (they're over a year old) and my 21 week Buff Orp. So I've had two Fairy Eggs in as many days, no idea if it's my Orp just getting started with laying or if it's one of my old ladies. They have daily treats (my 4 yo kiddo is the treat giver and they await her arrival to the coop) of mealworms, cracked corn/grit/peanuts/raisins as well as occasional veg scraps and free access to oyster shells. Should I worry or do something different?

Fairy eggs are glitches in the system. Generally they don't contain a whole yolk, just a small bit of one. Yours look too big to be fairy eggs. My guess is one of your Orpingtons started by the color and shape.

That looks more like a pullet egg than a fairy egg.
What's inside?

Psst....keep the treats to a minimum.

I think you may be right. They were both fully developed with a yolk!

They were indeed a full egg with a yolk, just small.
