What did they lay? Anybody see this before?

That is known as a fart, fairy, or rooster egg. It happens every now and then. I had one like it last year that didn't have a yolk in it, just the white.

Thank you

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 older layers.

I have my fair share of these in my backyarding experience. They are such a humor for me and my family.

We got a brown one of those the other day... so cute! I put it on display in the house.

Spent some time imagining what would come out of it if it hatched, LOL. Likely not a good idea.
