Welsummer slacking!

Is there anything to be concerned about? Her eggs are usually same size as the one on the right

She may be nearing the end of a laying cycle or it may just be a one time glitch in egg production. 'Fart' eggs happen upon occasion.

How old is bird...and where in the world are you located?


Fairy, fart, wind, rooster eggs are usually from a tiny piece of tissue breaking loose from the reproductive tract, or an immature ova(yolk) and the body forms an egg around it. Color can be darker than 'normal' as the pigment coating released has to cover a much smaller area so is thicker. Can happen with any age layer, but more common with new or older layers.
