Why Is This Egg So Tiny?

[countryboy1]

Today i went and collected the eggs and i found a tiny one is this just some freak thing or do i need to worry about this? It was inasanely tiny about as big a round as a quarter wher as i'm used to getting eggs three inches tall and about an inch and a half wide.

It's probably a 'fart' egg. It happens sometimes, and it's not a big deal. If it's a fart egg, there will be no yolk inside.

Nothing to worry about, it happens sometimes. Especially when they are new to laying. Usually, the tiny ones are yolkless, but I always open them for a look!

This is normal. They are called wind eggs on this site fart eggs. Happens alot when they first start to lay good. Sometimes it just happens . Most do not have yolks some do but not normal very tiny. My first one was the size of a a acorn.
