Weird chicken egg

[LivinADream]

Those usually show up at the beginning of the laying cycle, looks like one of your hens is about ready to shut down for winter vacation or could be coming out of molt and getting the egg system started up and running again.

We have 6 hens and have only been getting 5 eggs so maybe the last one is starting to lay.

I have had that very thing happen several times, sorry, but I have no clue as to why. I guess it is just part of it.

I asked my MIL- she has chickens. She said that she randomly gets them too, she also has no explanation. So I guess it seems like a somewhat regular occurrence. She also said lately she’s been getting a few eggs that do not have a hard shell. She called them jelly eggs..... anyone know a reason on those?

Have you cracked the little one yet? Kinda curious if it has a tiny little yolk...

The hens need calcium, go to your local feed store and get some oyster shell for, just put a small open container of it in the pen with them, let them eat it free choice. Also crushing your eggshells, brown them slightly then feed them back to the hens will help also

Diminutive eggs like these are known as wind eggs, witch eggs, fairy eggs, or more affectionately, fart eggs. They’re usually yolkless if a hen hasn’t released a yolk yet by the time her body starts producing the shell. In those cases, a bit of reproductive tissue breaks off inside the oviduct and triggers the formation of an egg by tricking the hen’s body into thinking the tissue is a yolk.
