Very small eggs

[gladheart]

Hi all, I've got one hen that's laying small eggs, like Robbin size. I don't know which hen, but what i think is it's a hen just starting to lay?? what's everyone think???

It sounds like she's laying "fart eggs", #14 here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/common-egg-quality-problems

It’s not unusual for pullet just starting to lay to lay some really strange eggs. There are a lot of parts to their internal egg making factory and sometimes it takes a while for them to work all the kinks out. It’s kind of amazing how many get it right to start with. If it is still happening in a couple of weeks you might have a problem, but don’t worry too much about it yet.

By the way, is she a bantam?
