Why a tiny egg?

[red horse ranch]

Most likely a 'fart' egg. I've had them as small as marbles from full size mature hens. The egg will not usually have a yolk.

While we are talking about egg size, check this one out from a pullet....

The small one is normal size for a Welsummer pullet. The big one actually had a fully developed egg with the shell Plus an extra yolk and white.

blue eggers start out as laying green eggs and the eggs slowly turn blue later on in life...

Wait a minute..I was under the assumption Once a color always that color.

Not mine. It was complete. Probably would have fit on a quarter with not much overlap.

And at the opposite end of the spectrum I had this from one of my marans. And she survived.

My Barred Rocks that are just starting to lay again after molting start with little eggs before the eggs get back to their usual size.
