Why a tiny egg?

[ChickieKeeta]

My easter eggers are 15 and 16 months of age. My Ameraucana hens are about 3 years and lay blue eggs. My Rhode Island Reds are 9 months old and lay brown eggs. Where did this tiny green egg come from?

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

I have Ameracauna's that lay olive eggs but one day out of the blue, one of them laid a blue egg! Hasn't happened since.

As for size, it can vary. I've noticed that the eggs I do get these days tend to be smaller in size so I attribute that to sporadic laying due to less daylight and cold temps. They aren't on a regular laying schedule anymore so it's a surprise to see what they've laid when I go to look.

Sometimes hens have a glitch and they make a tiny egg called a fairy egg or fart egg.

So far my little eggs have been perfect inside

Looks like a fart egg to me too!

What's REALLY funny is a bantam hens fart egg. Those are easy to miss in the nest.

That's not a small egg. This is a small egg. That's one of those large olives next to it. Lol
