WHAT THE HECK!?

Umm...

If you haven't seen my other 2 threads, I would reccommend going to my account and reading them now. Because things are about to get whack.
Basically, my female duck was having issues with her poop and eggs 2 days ago. But now, she's layed an egg! but it's so SMALL! How is this possible? Here are a couple pictures of the TINY egg she layed.

The second picture is her egg nexted to a normal sized duck egg. WHAT IS GOING ON!? Please help!!

UPDATE!

Things just got even more bizzarre. When I cracked open the egg, the inner part, not the eggshell, but the egg material below was super thick. I had to get a fork and poke it open. When I did, and looked inside of what was in the egg, there was no yolk? I'm so confused, this is really strange. Here are some pictures:

I read on another post that they are normal when a duck is getting back into laying properly. They called them "Fart Eggs" lol
Usually they don't have yolks.
Just watch her closely for any unusual behavior or thin shelled/no shelled eggs, otherwise I think there isn't anything wrong with a small egg.

Oh, okay. Thanks. Sorry if it seemed like I was freaking out, I just really thought something was wrong with her since I've never heard of this before. It makes more sense now. Thank you! Haha.

No worries at all! I'm genuinely glad that you care for your duck that much. I would've panicked too if I hadn't ever seen or heard of it before and saw an egg like that from one of my ducks lol

lol. wind eggs, fart eggs, same difference. I read that in the colonial times, they thought that "wind eggs" occurred when a bird "passed gas" and the egg came out before it was formed.

I know chickens lay these but I did not know ducks lay them also. Small eggs usually are only egg whites in chickens and looks like ducks is too. That is interesting.

Yes they do found one just last week in the duck house.

My chicken does that once in a while. I thought at one time it was a robin or something else getting in the nest and dropping an egg - but later found it to be what was described here. In fact, she just recently did it again - and has had two in one week like that.

Since my Hens are almost seven now, they haven't gave me any of these in about two or three years. We use them when we get them. They are not bad to eat I read here somewhere, just no yoke in them.
