What on earth is this!?

[Beka123]

The world's tiniest, soft-shelled chicken egg! There's even a yolk inside! Maybe one of my babie's first eggs? I still have two chickens that haven't started laying yet...

It looks like a soft shelled fart egg. They happen with new layers as their bodies adjust to laying.

I had one of those too when mine first started laying. Also had some minature sized hard shelled eggs.

Lol, a "shelled fart egg" is that really what they're called? How does it happen? It was laying right under their roost this morning...!

One of my girls did that a couple weeks ago, haven't seen another since. A perfect mini.

I think its cute!

I still get the occasional fart from my flock of girls well into their second year of laying.

 

[RedDrgn]

Wow! We have never gotten a fart egg from our flock and I'm kind of sad, because they look so neat!

I've quite a collection of farts. I keep them for a laugh. My smallest one was so tiny, all the hens looked embarrassed when I found it! It was the size of a marble...
