Where did this tiny egg come from?

I have heavy breed chickens, 4 guineas, 2 banties and a silkie.

The two banties, one hen one roo are in a separate pin and are never out.

The rest free range. Today when we collected eggs there was a very small egg about an inch long. I have no clue where it came from. I haven't had guineas before so I don't know what their eggs look like. Would one of my big hens have laid an egg that size for some reason or another? The silkie is a roo. I've had chickens for 5 years now and I've never gotten an egg like this.

It is normal and is called a "wind" egg. There is a ruder term but I won't say it LOL.

It happens sometimes- but I only have chickens and not guineas, so IDK if guineas do that too. I have seen it with my chickerdoodles.

interesting. I bet that was easy to pass.

I don't know about guinea eggs, but it sounds like a fart egg. They usually don't have a yolk and are quite tiny like that. It's just a glitch, no problems.

I agree fart egg if there is not yolk in it.
